> Continuous Up-date of the List New Power Plants in Europe < The list New Power Plants comprises power plants in planning and under construction in Europe. Energy sources like gas, hard coal, lignite, wind, water, waste etc. are considered. Bases on the list, the planned total output (MW) and the portions of the sources of energy (MW) can be determined. Due to political and economic decisions the list lives with further planning measures and with cancellations. The current list is available in the member area for download:

4) VGB-M216e "Recommendations for the Design, Properties and Condition of Waste-fired Boilers"

The past success of this instruction sheet gave cause for an advancement and adjustment to the today's basic conditions. The legislations changes, in particular the harmonization of the European sets of rules, in addition, the innovations in the commercial law make adjustments in the text necessary. Also the efforts toward a CO2-compensation refer today the fuel garbage as at least partial CO2-neutral energy source. The requirements of the incineration during the interpretation must be considered in order to avoid selecting parameters in confidence on the technical progress, which is suitable for conventional fuels only. The objective of the past instruction sheet, a clarification of the terms and definition of the qualities which can be specified contractually, are to be maintained.
