Welcome to the Fourth World Waste to Energy City Summit in London
This year’s summit comes as the first wave of advanced conversion projects here in the UK are beginning to get off the ground, with the first
Contracts for Difference awarded earlier this year and new projects recently announced.
As ever, securing finance and getting the right mix of funding for a project is the number one challenge, so it’s great to have such a wealth of
investors on this year’s agenda.
We’re also delighted to welcome our most diverse international speaking faculty - and audience – to the summit. Not only does this enable
project developers to identify new market opportunities, but it facilitates knowledge-sharing, so we can all learn from the successes – and
challenges – of colleagues around the world.
We’ve made this year’s summit more interactive, to capitalize on the expertise and experience of everyone here. On the first day we have
roundtable discussion groups, each focused on a particular topic of strategic importance to the industry. On the second day, we’ll divide into
groups to brainstorm ideas and develop a recommended roadmap for the future of waste to energy.
I would like to thank our headline sponsor, FCC Environment, and all our other sponsors for their support for the summit. Please take
advantage of our 1-1 meeting system supported by UKTI, and I hope everyone will join us for our evening reception in the Sky Lounge, hosted
by Atkins.
As we look ahead to next year’s summit, please take the time to share with us your feedback and suggestions, so that we can continue to
build the summit year on year as the meeting place for the international waste to energy industry.
I wish you a fruitful and enjoyable summit.
