Energetic use of wastes is a highly actual theme not only to the Czech energetics and heating industry, mostly because of the opportunities that will arise from a new prepared Czech waste act, which is in accordance with European legislative. The already announced ban on the disposal of municipal solid waste and of recyclable or usable wastes (valid from 2024) and the introduction of the sorting of biodegradable waste are only a commencement of several changes that will have to be implemented into waste-management industry, heating industry and energetics. The students will be introduced to current and new challenges of energetic use of waste and with available and promising technologies for effective thermal use of waste for (but not limited to) the cogeneration of electricity and heat.
Aim of the course -
Last update: Juklíčková Hana Ing. (29.01.2018)

Students will be able to:

1) Rationalize the upcoming increased interest in the technologies of energetic use of wastes.

2) Evaluate actual state and possibilities of the use of different waste types with the emphasis on their energetic use.

3) Evaluate the possibilities of individual waste-to-energy technologies.

4) Thoroughly describe the technology and possibilities of waste-to-energy combustion plants.
