The Waste to energy industry is anticipated to surpass USD 78 billion by 2032. Increasing government measures toward WTE promotion will positively impact the industry over the forecast period. Respective government authorities are now offering income tax exemptions as well as investment tax allowance for companies undertaking WTE management activities and installing advanced technologies. For instance, as per Kyoto Protocol, waste-to-energy units can earn tradable credits called CERs (certified emission reductions) under CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) approved protocols scheme. These WTE units are likely to gain credits by eliminating methane production from landfills.
Based on technology, the thermal technology will grow at a CAGR of over 6% through 2032. Increasing investments toward development of sustainable waste management practices along with government measures to reduce emissions has provided significant boost to the thermal waste technologies. Additionally, The increasing awareness toward sustainable waste management technologies along with stringent regulatory framework across developed nations toward waste management will provide favorable business scenario.
Europe waste to energy market is projected to surpass USD 32.5 billion by 2032. Increasing adoption of favourable policies framed by government authorities along with stringent norms to reduce emissions will positively sway the WTE industry across the European subcontinent. Moreover, rapid adoption of recycling, and WTE techniques to cater the accruing waste management demand has positively influenced the industry landscape. Furthermore, increasing use of biological, gasification and pyrolysis technology for efficient waste to energy generation have further streamlined the industry growth.
Favorable regulatory policies, combined with the integration of advanced technologies in waste treatment, have led to significant investments in the U.S. market. The industry has seen a strong trend towards deploying innovative solutions to meet the increasing waste management demand across North America.
