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.
An independent review led by Dr. Alan Whitehead CBE identifies substantial greenhouse gas removal potential across three key waste-based technologies:
- waste-to-energy with carbon capture and storage
- anaerobic digestion
- 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 these technologies, driven by a core recommendation to minimise the UK's reliance on imported biomass.
Author's summary: UK waste is a strategic asset for net zero targets.
