Portugal to Build New Waste Plants
08 June 2009
Portugal plans to build new incinerators in order to increase its waste-to-energy capacity. The Portuguese government’s aim is to reduce the amount of landfill waste and increase the use of energy incinerators that burn waste to produce energy. It predicts that 1.2 million tonnes of waste will be used for energy production by 2013, generating 421 megawatts per year. The strategy has however been criticised for conflicting with current waste laws. Critics also claim that the government’s figures have been exaggerated in order to justify the construction of new incinerators.

I've been using EU Issue Tracker for more than three years: it offers me daily updated, detailed and high quality information on the Environmental, Health & Safety issues I am following, saving me valuable time at a very fair cost/benefit ratio.

Vice-President Technology and Environmental Policy
SIEMENS AG
The Issue Tracker saves me huge amounts of time. It's like having another member of staff. The 'past-present-future' approach is very useful too.
James Johnston
Policy Adviser
Scottish Government
Given the wide scope of issues to be covered under food policy, it is practically impossible to be always up-to-date on all issues. Issue Tracker is therefore a very useful tool! Not only does it send an alert when there is progress made on the dossiers, but it can be easily accessed whenever necessary.
Adviser on Food Policy and Customers
