Waste-to-Energy: The Swedish Approach
Thailand-Sweden Science Diplomacy Program
Sweden has vowed to become one of the world's first fossil fuel-free nations. It is a global frontrunner in the energy and environment sectors, offering state-of-the-art technologies and services. Being a leading nation in waste management including waste-to-energy systems, Sweden imports garbage from nearby countries to use as fuel. More than 99 % of household waste is recycled and 47 % of household waste is used as fuel in more than 30 waste-to-energy plants throughout the country. In total, the waste-to-energy plants produce electricity to 250,000 private households and provide heating to 810,000 households.
Integrating science, technology and innovation (STI) in the collaboration with foreign countries has been set high in the national agenda and is being implemented under science diplomacy program. In this regard, the National Science Technology and Innovation Policy Office, Ministry of Science and Technology together with the Royal Thai Embassy in Stockholm, Ministry of Foreign Affairs are hosting a seminar “Waste-to-Energy: The Swedish Approach” on 11 May 2016 at Grand Mercure Fortune Bangkok, 3rd Floor, Platinum Hall. The seminar provides an opportunity for Thailand to learn the innovative technology and management of waste-to-energy approach from Sweden. The target group of participants are governmental officials, personnel from private companies and researchers from academic institutions who work in the area of energy and environment. The seminar is also open for general public who are interested in this field.
Objective
- To strengthen tangible cooperation between governmental, private and academic agencies of Thailand and Sweden in STI, especially in waste-to-energy approach, in which Sweden is progressive and Thailand is in need of
- To encourage the partnership between Thailand and Sweden at all levels, which can create a network connection in the long run
- To promote and facilitate knowledge transfer, exchange of best practice, technology transfer and research collaboration
- To create public awareness in the field of waste-to-energy approach
