Energy and Solid Waste
All economic activity requires energy. We need it throughout our daily lives too. In fact, energy plays such a central part in our societies that promoting clean sources and energy efficiency is the most active front today in the fight against climate change. It is also the best way to reduce Europe’s dependence on energy imports.
The more developed our societies, the higher the tendency to produce more waste. Yet a true sign of development is to reverse this trend, by disposing of waste in ways that are not harmful to the environment and recycling all we can.
With this in mind, JASPERS can help you prepare projects to:
- expand or upgrade gas distribution and storage facilities
to improve security of supply in case of restrictions
- build wind farms, solar rooftops, geothermic and biomass facilities
to increase the share of renewable energy in the energy mix
- rehabilitate district heating plants and networks
to reduce energy losses and thus improve energy efficiency
- retrofit old buildings for a higher energy performance
to improve comfort and reduce energy consumption
- decontaminate polluted sites
to reduce risks to population and environment
- establish and extend integrated waste management systems
to improve recycling and dispose of residual waste properly
- build waste-to-energy facilities
to recover energy from waste and reduce landfilling of waste
