A Business, organisers of the highly influential Energy from


Waste Conference, have announced details of the 15th annual event, taking place 26-28 February 2019 in London. Hosted in association with Recycling & Waste World magazine, the conference is now open for delegate bookings at: www.efwconference.com Delivered under the heading Waste to


Fuel the Future, the Energy from Waste Conference offers an extensive programme designed to promote discussion and debate among the international energy from waste industry, thought leaders and key decision makers. The opening keynote on 27 February will be delivered by deputy director, Waste & Recycling, for Defra, Chris Preston. Returning to chair the proceedings is


Ian Crummack, managing director of Cobalt Energy, who comments: “The 2019 Conference comes at a pivotal moment for the energy from waste sector in the UK. Since 1994, there has been more than 40 successful projects built now in operation and many more are being developed. Most of the existing plants are used for treating municipal waste; yet there is far more commercial waste available in the UK than municipal. Additionally, any available subsidy regimes are being realigned to focus on increasing and diversifying the energy created from waste. The Conference will address these issues and provide a focal point to meet like-minded professionals in the sector, which continues to grow in significance in the face of Brexit and other challenges.” Conference highlights include a panel


debate looking at the long-term role for EfW in the UK, and whether we should be exploring alternatives. Panellists are: Harriet Parke, senior consultant, Eunomia Research & Consulting, Jacob Hayler, executive director, Environmental Services Association, Jarno Stet, Waste Services manager, Westminster City Council and Robert Corijn, group chair RDF Industry Group and marketing manager, Attero. The conference closing session will be


delivered by Dr Stephen Wise, Bioenergy director, Energia, looking at some of the latest projects exploring the evolving opportunities in the EFW market. In addition, there will be sessions looking
