This year due to COVID-19 the Summit will be held as a virtual online event taking place October 6-7, 2020.

During this virtual event, Mr. Klinkhamer, will be a key contributor to the Gasification Discussion Panel where the topic will be “Gasification: A new Wave of Projects”. The panel discussion will provide special attention to the challenges with energy from waste projects and will showcase the benefits that gasification has over traditional combustion technologies. The panelist will discuss advancements in the waste-to-energy sector with a focus on not only technologies but feedstocks used in the gasification process.

TOPIC - Gasification: A new wave of projects

Many remain unconvinced about the future of gasification because of lower power yields, however, the potential for resource output is far greater. With many new projects going ahead, this panel will evaluate the business case, challenges, and success stories.

• What kinds of plants and waste are most suited to gasification and what are the benefits over combustion?
• Why are some markets more successful than others?
• Which projects are now underway and what have been the highs and lows for those who have pioneered?
• Where is the true potential of gasification? How great is the opportunity to contribute to the decarbonization of industries such as transport and aviation and the recycling of plastic?
• What incentives would help accelerate growth in this area?

Mr. Klinkhamer commented, “What an exciting panel we have this year, delegates at the event will benefit significantly from the discussion and we are thrilled to play a part on this panel.” This conference event is packed with great topics including the commercial and policy landscape, partnership, and risk sharing models, project finance and investment, technology innovation, decarbonizing the transport sector, tackling the plastics crisis, international opportunities, and the climate change agenda. The event includes input from additional key industry players such as Covanta, Hitachi Zosen Inova, Hatch, CoGen, Advanced BioFuel Solutions, Veolia, Aviva Investors who will also be presenting during this virtual event online.
