The seminar will focus on new and advanced industrial scale technologies
designed particularly for efficient energy utilisation of waste. Special
attention will be paid to the new gasification based WtE plant of Lahti
Energia Oy.
Energy recovery from waste with minimised environmental impacts is a global
high priority topic. New advanced high efficiency WtE technologies decrease
the need for landfilling of waste and significantly reduce greenhouse gases
and simultaneously enables saving of virgin natural raw materials and
production of electricity and heat without coal or other fossil fuels.
A Finnish energy company Lahti Energia Oy is a pioneer in advanced WtE
solutions based on gasification technology, and the first biomass and waste
fuelled gasifier was commissioned in Lahti already in 1998. Based on very
successful operation of that gasifier the new advanced gasification based high
efficiency WtE technology was developed and now it is time for commissioning
of the next generation gasification based WtE plant in Lahti.
The seminar will be held in the Sibelius Hall in Lahti, Finland, on 8-9 May
2012. The seminar will be opened at 14.00 on 8 May 2012 and it will continue
on 9 May. After the seminar there will be a visit to this new WtE plant (160
MWth).
This new WtE plant is partly funded by the European Commission (within
LahtiStreams Integrated Project) and this seminar is organised by Lahti
Energia Oy and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland together with
LahtiStreams IP.
