What types of investments are these?
Focus on Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Municipal solid waste (MSW) is the principal feedstock for 106 projects due to become operational in 2017. These have a combined value of US$9.2 billion, equal to US$88 million on average. They have combined annual capacity of
26.1 million tonnes, equal to 248,736 per project and 777 tonnes per day per project. There is some form of power generation component to 63 of these, totalling 1,934 MW or 31 MW per project on average.
The leading broad technology type for MSW projects will be incineration with energy recovery, also termed WtE (Waste-to-Energy) incineration. This will account for half the newly-operational projects by value in 2017, equal to US$4.6
billion. This is followed by large integrated/mixed facilities (which often incorporate a major WtE element) with US$1.5 billion, and gasification plants with just over US$1.1 billion.
