18th November 2009 Growing waste-to-energy market in South Africa The waste-to-energy concept is rapidly emerging as an important component of integrated waste management strategies and has positive growth prospects. However, due to the low cost of electricity and high capital investment required in waste-to-energy plants, the incentives for utilising energy generated from waste are moderately limited.

He is best known for his work on organometallic catalysis, especially in combination with non-conventional reaction media such as supercritical CO2, ionic liquids or PEG. In particular, his group has developed continuous-flow processes on the basis of molecular catalysts immobilized in multiphase systems based on such "Green Solvents". Professor Walter Leitner is also the editor of Handbook of Green Chemistry - Green Solvents publishing in February 2010. 14th October 2009 Tomorrow's Chemistry Today A new book provides a glimpse into the future, with contributions from young scientists considered to be the most important for tomorrow's chemistry and materials science. They present the state of the art in their particular fields of research, with topics ranging from new synthetic pathways and otechnology to green chemistry. Of major interest to organic chemists, materials scientists and biochemists.
