Ed Verhamme of Alternate Resource Partners gave a global overview of AF trends. He suggested that AF has the potential of abating 750Mt of CO2 per year by 2050 if current trends continue. If all EU countries had a 60% TSR, 26Mt of CO2 emissions would be avoided each year, 15.Mt of waste would be processed, 11.1Mt of coal use would be avoided and Euro12bn of investment in Waste to Energy plants could also be avoided. The overview covered the following topics:
