Energy from Waste and Biomass

11 Mar 2009, IOM3, London, UK

Organised by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining.

This conference took place on 11 March 2009.

Waste is no longer an option! Resources that until recently were tipped into landfill, left to rot, allowed to escape to the atmosphere, or just left untapped, are now being identified as extra sources of energy and income. The Government have identified this as a priority area of technology, and much development work is being done in the UK to make the conversion technologies from waste and biomass to energy more efficient, and to transfer this technology to energy suppliers and local authorities.


This event was part of National Science and Engineering Week 2009 and was organised in conjunction with the Energy Materials Group of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining.
