T-5A3-TE-6 - Increased energy recovery from waste
Background¶
IPCC WG3 definition: .
TBD
Sustainability Category: Amber¶
This transition element has only moderate climate impact but may be necessary for maintaining urban needs, with a clear pathway to decarbonization. While not aligned with net-zero targets, this transition element is actively improving the emissions profile and represents intermediate performance on the path to sustainability.
