UK Waste Streams: A Strategic Asset for Greenhouse Gas Removals
The Whitehead review, commissioned by Energy Security & Net Zero, highlights domestic waste as a key feedstock for carbon capture technologies.
An independent review led by Dr. Alan Whitehead CBE identifies substantial greenhouse gas removal potential across three key waste-based technologies: waste-to-energy, anaerobic digestion, and biochar pathways.
The review calls for transitional support to enable sector transitions to carbon capture technologies.
- Waste-to-energy with carbon capture and storage
- Anaerobic digestion
- Biochar production from waste feedstocks
The review aims to minimize the UK's reliance on imported biomass, driven by a core recommendation.
Author's summary: UK waste streams are a strategic asset for net zero targets.
