The report does go on to say a CO2 rich atmosphere is good for plant growth.

I've tried to find the report again but not successful yet.

If you Google these waste incineration to produce power you get thousands of these plants around the world. The only new bit seemed to be the Poly tunnels to utilise the CO2 produced.My take on it was they were hunting for Govt Funds to assist them.

Absolutely correct.

That is the other side of the global heating problem which is caused by increasing CO2 levels. We are not only producing more and more CO2 by burning fossil fuels, but we are also chopping down the forests that reduce CO2 in the atmosphere and make O2.

Double bad whammy.

Forests still cover about 30 percent of the worlds land area, but they are disappearing at an alarming rate. Between 1990 and 2016, the world lost 502,000 square miles (1.3 million square kilometers) of forest, according to the World Bankan area larger than South Africa. Since humans started cutting down forests, 46 percent of trees have been felled, according to a 2015 study in the journal Nature. About 17 percent of the Amazonian rainforest has been destroyed over the past 50 years, and losses recently have been on the rise.

We are a bit behind the times frankly.

Did you know Vienna has had an incinerator (architect designed artwork really) for decades that burns the cities waste (and scrubs the emissions) to produce the energy for central heating distributed to buildings in all districts of the old city?
