Kanadevia Inova bets big on waste-to-energy carbon capture [Int]Friday 21 Aug 2026
Waste-to-Energy plants sit at an awkward intersection in the climate debate. They provide an outlet for non-recyclable waste that would otherwise need to go to landfill, but combustion means emissions, and in an era of net-zero commitments, emissions need answers. Governments across Europe and beyond have classified WtE as a hard-to-abate sector, as one that cannot be stopped and where no other technological solutions with lower climate impact are available. Carbon capture – separating CO₂ from combustion flue gas before it reaches the atmosphere – is increasingly the answer regulators and operators are settling on. When paired with geological storage, it holds out the possibility of a facility that removes more carbon than it releases. This is the space where Kanadevia Inova, the Zurich-headquartered green tech and engineering specialist, is making its most ambitious move. With decades of experience in WtE plant design and a proprietary carbon capture technology already validated at pilot scale, the company is now pushing for full-scale deployment – and the UK is where it begins. “We’ve focused on an implementable solution based on proven technology, amending the Waste-to-Energy plant to not only capture CO₂ effectively but to do so with minimal impact on overall performance,” says Kai Lieball, Director Decarbonisation at Kanadevia Inova.
