Global Waste-To-Energy Market By Geography, Technology, Applications Market Trends And Forecasts
The global energy market is witnessing a shift toward waste to energy technologies due to growing energy demands worldwide, the rapid depletion of conventional sources of energy, and concerns over environmental pollution from conventional energy sources. Governments across the globe are offering initiatives and financial schemes to encourage production of energy from industrial and agricultural wastes. The report studies the waste to energy market only for municipal solid waste (MSW), and excludes hazardous metal and other wastes. The research also does not cover the waste water treatment market.
While only a few international companies are currently active in the WTE market, it is expected to witness a double-digit growth rate in the next five years largely due to the participation of developing countries. Ongoing research is also expected to resolve current concerns of conversion and efficiency; making waste a mainstream source of energy.

Global Waste to Energy Technologies Market (2008 2015) analyzes different technologies used to generate energy using MSW (Municipal Solid Waste). It evaluates the key opportunities and drivers for the WTE technologies market in the U.S., Europe, Asia-Pacific, and ROW.
Waste to energy (WTE) involves processing municipal solid waste into heat, electricity, and refuse derived fuel (RDF). The concept has superseded the garbage in garbage out practice by facilitating efficient garbage management while simultaneously providing clean energy and deriving dollars out of waste. This report analyzes and forecasts the global WTE market by technology into the submarkets for physical, thermal, and biological WTE technologies.
Driven by its growing role in the fields of electricity and heat generation, WTE technology is expected to reach a market size of $29.98 billion by 2015 at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2010-2015.
