Abstract

Circular economy, i.e. a closed-loop economy, is an idea in which the value of products and materials is retained as long as possible. A concept that minimizes the environmental impact of the products created, through such choice of components and design that will allow them to be reused. Speaking of circular economy, it is impossible not to mention the role of alternative fuels. According to the EN-15359: 2005 standard - Solid recovered fuels. Specification and classes, alternative fuels are flammable wastes, defragmented, homogeneous mixtures, produced by mixing non-hazardous waste, with or without solid fuel, liquid fuel or biomass, and which, as a result of thermal transformation, do not cause emissions to exceed the limits set out in Ordinance of the Minister of the Environment on the standards of emission from the installations dealing with the process of co-incineration of waste. [3] Development of the alternative fuels market, regardless of technology, should be seen as desirable. The preparation of individual technologies for entering the fuel market is, however, most varied. In addition, a series of studies need be conducted to answer questions on the suitability and potential for using alternative fuels as a source of energy. The article presents the issues of the circular economy package and alternative fuels.
