Energy Recovery By of Solid in the Federal Republic of Germany

C. Nels

Umweltbundesamt (Federal Environmental Agency), Bismarckpkatz 1, D-1000, Berlin 33, F.R.G.

Incineration of solid waste with recovery of energy is practiced in communities serving over 30% of the population of the F.R.G. Although solid waste has an energy content corresponding to only 2% of the total energy demand, in individual cases, up to 9% of the electrical requirements (e.g, Munich) are supplied by waste incineration. The basic problems of energy recovery via incineration are reviewed, and a number of practical suggestions are made for the planning and implementation of such schemes.

Key Words: K.ey Words—Incineration • energy recovery • district heating • electricity production • Federal Republic of Germany.
