OIES Podcast – Energy from Waste with CCS

Podcasts - Oxford Institute for Energy Studies

In this podcast, Hasan Muslemani speaks to Karl Smyth about the role of the energy-from-waste (EfW) sector in the energy transition, specifically how carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology can help decarbonize the sector. The podcast discusses the potential and readiness to retrofit EfW plants with CCS, including associated costs, before taking a deeper dive into the status quo of the sector in the UK. The podcast also evaluates different benefits of EfW+CCS, emphasising its capacity to generate valuable carbon removals, emission reductions and low-carbon energy, and highlights the role of public perception in enabling its large-scale commercialization.
