note | 04.08.2025 New publication: bifa text no. 75 - pathways to reduce CO₂ emissions in thermal waste treatment in Bavaria
With the Bavarian climate strategy, thermal waste treatment is also moving into focus when it comes to reducing CO₂ emissions. In Bavaria around 3.2 million tonnes of waste are generated each year, which is treated in 14 incineration plants. This results in about 3.3 million tonnes of CO₂ being released – emissions for which innovative solutions are needed.
