Waste to Energy: the $2.5 billion infrastructure plan to turn your rubbish into energy – Friday 21 September
The French-Australian Chamber of Commerce is pleased to invite you to its second Transport & Infrastructure event of the year to discuss the urgent infrastructure challenge presented by increasing levels of landfill, and how we can adapt/adopt/leverage technology solutions that have already been tried and tested in Europe.
A significant new fund announced in this year’s Queensland state budget will be made available to private companies and local governments to contribute toward the establishment of large scale infrastructure to assist with a move towards a European model of turning household and other waste into energy.
At the same time, the Local Government Association of Queensland is developing a plan to have no waste in Queensland sent to landfill by 2028 and work has commenced in Western Australia on Australia’s first $400 million domestic waste-to-energy facility which will be designed, built and operated by a consortium that includes French company, Veolia.
To discuss the opportunity presented by waste to energy infrastructure and how to capitalise on it, we will welcome Charlie Crane, Commercial Manager - Strategic Projects at Veolia ANZ and Greg Hallam, the CEO of the Local Government Association of Queensland, who is at the forefront of the ambitious zero waste plan which will involve the construction of up to eight waste to energy facilities in Queensland prior to 2028.
