However, the UK does provide a significant model for accelerated change driven by a cohesive energy policy focused on rapid decarbonization in response to climate change. In addition to performance-based regulation, electrification of transportation is another top issue in the UK.

Ethiopia’s waste-to-energy plant is a first in Africa

In cities where land is in short supply, “waste-to-energy” incineration is a quadruple win: it saves precious space, generates electricity, prevents the release of toxic chemicals into groundwater, and reduces the release of methane — a potent greenhouse gas generated in landfills — into the atmosphere.
