Waste 2 Power (W2P) – høyverdig energigjenvinning av plastavfall» (High quality energy recovery from plastic waste) is a pre-project (forprosjekt) in the regional development program FORREGION funded by the Research Council of Norway and administrated by Viken county council. The project begun with a collaboration between Vaia Miljø AS and NORSUS.
The project aims to understand the potential for commercializing a Waste to Energy prototype or Waste2Power (W2P) acquired by Vaia Miljø from Italy for energy recovery of waste and establish cooperation with relevant R&D actors. The project includes four main tasks covering the techno-economic analysis of the W2P technology (task 1), the development of an industrial plan based on the availability of plastic waste (task 2), a simplified environmental analysis by Life Cycle Assessment methodology (task 3), and the development of a plan for further research activities (task 4)”
