Plans to doble the capacity within three years
Might have over capacity in 2012.
Sweden:
Landfill ban for organic waste since 2005
Substantial development last years
Tax on incineration from
Well developed district heating system
Focus on renewable energy production
Denmark:
Regulated market with export and import restriction
Liberalisation of commersial waste market
Germany......

Limited grid
Largest cities and some industrial areas
Investment in district heating must be taken at the same time as incineration facility
