Innovative demonstrations for the next generation of biomass and waste combustion plants for energy recovery and renewable electricity production

Objective

NextGenBioWaste is targeting to perform innovative demonstrations of improvements to energy recovery and renewable electricity production from waste materials and other commonly used biomass feedstocks. 17 legal entities have agreed to establish NextGenBioWaste. The consortium encompasses 8 European utility companies, 2 technology providers, 6 RTD providers, and 1 consultant/engineering company. NextGenBioWaste deals with waste and biomass feedstocks and covers the supply chain from fuel preparation, via conversion and residue handling, up to wholesale of energy.

The objective of the NextGenBioWaste project is to improve the electric efficiency, reliability, performance and environmental compliance of waste and biomass combustion plants which produce heat and electric power, and to reduce costs at a competitive level. NextGenBioWaste is organised as an integrated project (IP).
