In the final episode of series two, the Burning Issue speaks to Christopher Philpot, senior associate at Trowers & Hamlins LLP.
Philpot shines a light on the legal action that has followed several high-profile failures involving gasification-equipped energy-from-waste plants mainly designed to process refuse-derived fuel.
This episode focuses on:
Why a higher percentage of EfW deals have ended up in court when compared with similar industries
Challenges waste-gasification plants have faced in getting through commissioning and then meeting contractual outputs
Major problems with the systems designed to move fuel through plants into the gasifier have caused legal disputes
How to avoid the pitfalls other in the sector have fallen into
And why you should “love your contracts”.
