Mordor Intelligence has published a new report on the Europe Waste-to-Energy Market, offering a comprehensive analysis of trends, growth drivers, and future projections.  

The Europe Waste-to-Energy (WtE) market is poised for robust growth, with a market size projected to reach USD 27.29 billion by 2029 from USD 20.84 billion in 2024. A compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.54% underscores the increasing demand for sustainable waste management solutions. As urbanization intensifies and the need for renewable energy sources escalates, the WtE market stands as a critical component in Europe’s shift toward environmental sustainability.

Key Trends in the Europe Waste-to-Energy Market

1. Thermal-Based Waste-to-Energy Technologies Lead the Market
Thermal technologies, including incineration and gasification, dominate the WtE market in Europe.

• Incineration: Processes municipal solid waste (MSW) to generate electricity, with cogeneration plants achieving efficiency rates up to 80%.
• Gasification: Produces syngas with reduced emissions, preferred over incineration for its environmental benefits.

2. Environmental Sustainability and Technological Advancements
Stringent emission standards and public awareness have driven advancements in emission control technologies, making WtE facilities more sustainable. Innovations such as carbon capture and methanol synthesis integration further enhance the sector’s environmental performance.

3. Rising Municipal Waste and Urbanization
Rapid urbanization has led to increased municipal solid waste generation, necessitating advanced waste management solutions. Germany remains a key player, leveraging urban growth to expand its WtE infrastructure.

4. Integration of Renewable Technologies
Recent developments include integrating WtE plants with carbon capture and sustainable methanol synthesis technologies, as seen in Italy’s projects. This approach aligns with Europe’s renewable energy goals and boosts overall market adoption.
