Filler Developments in Rubber and Plastics - Evonit / Imerys3rd November 2008 Energy from Waste Seminar11th November 2008 Austin Court, Birmingham, B1 2NP This one-day seminar will explore a wide variety of issues relating to Energy from Waste and offer solutions to the engineering challenges faced. Experts in the field will present the latest thinking on energy recovery options and their viable application, imparting practical information through case studies of successful projects. Energy from Waste is just as valuable a resource as material recycling and is urgently needed in terms of managing climate change. By 2020, 15% of all UK energy - for heat, electricity and transport - must be provided from renewable sources. Developing alternative fuels is pivotal to this commitment; converting Energy from Waste will be a major factor.
