UK Waste Streams: A Strategic Asset for Greenhouse Gas Removals
The Whitehead review, commissioned by Energy Security & Net Zero, highlights domestic waste as a key feedstock for carbon capture technologies.
Led by Dr. Alan Whitehead CBE, the independent review identifies substantial greenhouse gas removal potential across three pathways: waste-to-energy, anaerobic digestion, and biochar production from waste feedstocks.
The review calls for transitional support to enable sector transitions to carbon capture technologies.
The review provides a detailed assessment of waste-to-energy with carbon capture and storage, anaerobic digestion, and biochar production, with a core recommendation to minimize the UK's reliance on imported biomass.
Author's summary: UK waste streams can help achieve net zero targets.
- Waste-to-energy with carbon capture and storage
- Anaerobic digestion
- Biochar production from waste feedstocks
