Despite COP26, there is a big move towards the clean incineration of waste to produce electricity. Sweden and Germany are big importers of garbage.

Waste streams running the gamut from single use plastics, tyres, brush, paper, food scraps and the like can be handle relatively cleanly with virtually no dioxins, NOx or SOx. These plants would likely be carbon negative as they avoid landfill sourced methane emissions.

So, what is the economic benefit to move away from clean incineration or to divert plastics from the waste stream? Does the revenue from clean fuels offset what could be already earned from power sales? What is the environmental cost in shipping plastic to a different source than an incinerator which does everything else?

Clean incineration is well documented. Pyrolysis and plasma for treating wastes is not as well known and would require a lot of education of political leaders and public servants in the more advanced countries. Maybe this is why all of the projects mentioned in the PR's are less advanced countries.

Has anyone heard if the funding for Ecuador has been finalized yet? Any credible funder would have closed the deal by now.
