簡介目錄

預計預測期內美國廢棄物能源 (WtE) 市場複合年成長率將超過 7.26%。

2020 年，新冠疫情對市場產生了負面影響。現在，市場可能會達到疫情前的水準。

關鍵亮點

從長遠來看，廢棄物產生量的增加、對廢棄物管理的日益關注以滿足永續城市生活的需求以及對非石化燃料能源來源的日益關注將推動垃圾焚化發電市場的需求。
另一方面，國家仍需要更好的垃圾焚化發電政策和法規、高額的資本投入、需要提高廢棄物回收率等一些因素限制垃圾焚化發電市場的成長。
預計廢物能源（WtE）領域的技術進步將在不久的將來為工廠營運商創造巨大的商機。

美國WtE（廢棄物轉化為能源）轉換市場趨勢

基於熱能的廢棄物能源轉換將佔據市場主導地位

由於全球廢棄物焚化設施新興市場的不斷發展，預計預測期內熱能技術將佔據全球垃圾焚化能源 (WtE) 轉換市場最大的市場佔有率。
據估計，使用熱力發電（加熱和冷卻）和熱電汽電共生的工廠可以實現 80% 的最佳效率。
在當前情況下，焚燒是都市固態廢棄物（MSW）處理最為人所知的WtE（廢棄物轉化為能源）技術。然而，垃圾焚化發電技術，尤其是焚燒技術，會產生污染並帶來潛在的健康和安全風險。為了減少顆粒物和氣相排放，焚化廠採用一系列製程裝置來淨化廢氣流，從而顯著改善環境永續性。
2021年，美國消耗的廢棄物能源約為431兆英熱單位。為了減少顆粒物和氣相排放，焚化廠業主採用了一系列製程裝置來清潔煙氣流。
2022 年 5 月，總部位於新澤西州的廢棄物管理公司 Covanta Holding Corporation 宣布，將利用基於熱能的技術，利用從美國航空、Quest Diagnostics、Sunny Delight 和斯巴魯收集的廢棄物為18,000 戶家庭提供足夠的電力。宣布正在製造它。
考慮到上述情況和近期趨勢，預計在預測期內，以熱為基礎的垃圾焚化發電將主導美國垃圾焚化發電市場。

美國廢棄物回收率上升抑制了市場成長

由於人口成長和全國廢棄物增加，美國廢棄物回收率近來提高。根據美國環保署統計，回收率已從1960年的不到7%上升至如今的32%。
回收廢棄物可減少空氣和水污染並帶來許多環境效益。 2021年的碳排放將為47.011億噸，較2019年的49.809億噸二氧化碳排放下降。
2021年，美國64座發電廠燃燒了約2,800萬噸可燃都市固體廢棄物來發電，發電量約136億度。生質能原料約佔可燃城市固體廢棄物重量的 61% 和發電量的 45%。
此外，2021年美國家庭排放的塑膠垃圾只有5%被回收。美國人扔掉了5,100萬噸包裝紙、瓶子和袋子，平均每人扔掉了約309磅塑膠。
政府採取的新措施旨在抑制二氧化碳的高排放。這阻礙了垃圾焚燒的發展。此外，到 2035 年將城市固態廢棄物回收率提高到 60% 預計也將對焚燒市場產生影響。
鑑於上述情況，預測期內美國廢棄物回收率的提高預計將抑制垃圾焚化發電市場的成長。

美國廢棄物能源轉化產業概況

美國廢棄物能源（WtE）市場需要變得更有凝聚力。市場上的主要企業（不分先後順序）包括 Covanta Holding Corp、Waste Management, Inc.、Suez SA、Martin GmbH 和 Wheelabrator Technologies Inc.

Key Highlights

Over the long term, the increasing amount of waste generation, growing concern for waste management to meet the need for sustainable urban living, and increasing focus on non-fossil fuel sources of energy are driving the demand for the waste-to-energy market.
On the other hand, the country still needs more suitable policies and regulations concerning WTE, and factors such as high capital investment, increasing the recycling rate of waste, and several other factors have been restraining the growth of the WTE market.
Technological advancements in the waste-to-energy sector are expected to create significant opportunities for plant operators in the near future.

US Waste To Energy Market Trends

Thermal Based Waste to Energy Conversion to Dominate the Market

Thermal technology is expected to account for the highest market share in the worldwide waste-to-energy market during the forecast period, owing to the increasing development of waste incineration facilities worldwide.
It is estimated that plants, which utilize cogeneration of thermal power (heating and cooling), together with electricity generation, can reach optimum efficiencies of 80%.
In the present scenario, incineration is the most well-known waste-to-energy technology for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) processing. However, waste-to-energy technologies, particularly incineration, produce pollution and carry potential health safety risks. To reduce particulate and gas-phase emissions, incineration plant owners have adopted a series of process units for cleaning the flue gas stream, which has, in turn, led to a significant improvement in environmental sustainability.
In 2021, nearly 431 trillion British thermal units of energy derived from waste were consumed in the United States. To reduce particulate and gas-phase emissions, the owners of incineration plants have adopted a series of process units for cleaning the flue gas stream, which has, in turn, led to a significant improvement in terms of environmental sustainability.
In May 2022, New Jersey-based waste management company Covanta Holding Corporation announced that it is making enough electricity to power 18,000 homes from the waste collected from American Airlines, Quest Diagnostics, Sunny Delight, and Subaru through thermal-based technology.
Hence, owing to the above points and the recent developments, thermal-based waste-to-energy is expected to dominate the United States Waste-to-Energy Market during the forecast period.

Increasing Recycling Rate of Waste in the United States to Restrain the Growth of the Market

The waste recycling rate in the United States has been growing in recent days due to the increase in population and growing waste across the country. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the recycling rate has increased from less than seven percent in 1960 to the current rate of 32 percent.
The recycling of waste offers various environmental benefits by reducing air and water pollution. In the year 2021, the country witnessed 4701.1 million tonnes of carbon emissions, which is comparatively lower than 4980.9 million tonnes of Co2 emissions generated in 2019.
In 2021, 64 U.S. power plants generated about 13.6 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity from burning about 28 million tonnes of combustible MSW for electricity generation. Biomass materials accounted for about 61% of the weight of the combustible MSW and for about 45% of the electricity generated.
Also, in the year 2021, only 5% of the plastic waste generated by United States households was recycled. The Americans discarded 51 million tons of wrappers, bottles, and bags, and about 309 lb of plastic per person, of which almost 95 percent ended up in landfills, and oceans or scattered in the atmosphere in tiny toxic particles.
The new government policies are aimed at restricting high carbon emissions. This factor is hindering the growth of the incineration process. In addition, the increase in recycling of municipal solid waste to 60% by 2035 is expected to affect the market for incineration as well.
Owing to the above points, the increasing recyling rate of waste in the United States is expected to restrain the growth of the country's waste-to-energy market during the forecast period.
