Greenhouse Gases Emissions

<p>Sweden has reached prominent figures both in waste management and reducing greenhouse gases emissions. Less than 1 percent of its municipal solid waste is landfilled, and the other 99 percent is harnessed by either recycling or producing energy. It helped the country’s decarbonization, as its GDP raised 75% while its emission decreased 26% during the period 1990-2016. This is why the Sweden is a benchmarking either regarding waste management and economy decarbonization. This paper had the objective to identify key success factors that could inspire better practices in regulation and public policies regarding the energy and material recovering from municipal solid waste. To accomplish the goal it was held nine incineration plants technical visits, as well 19 Sweden experts were interviewed. It was delivered a overview of the stage of excellence of Sweden regarding waste and energy policies and 12 success factors were outlined. The key factors can be reunited in four groups: (a) holistic policy approach regarding diverse public demands; (b) integration of recycling and energy recovery from waste; (c) use of economic instruments such as taxes and tariffs in order to discourage harmful and incentive positive practices; (d) municipality’s autonomy with economic and operational capacity. The key factors can also be useful lessons to decision and opinion makers of other countries to formulate strategies that can contribute to improve performance regarding proper waste destination and decarbonization of the economy.</p><p><strong>Key-words:</strong><strong> </strong>Waste Management, Decarbonization, Sweden, Energy Recovering, Waste-to-Energy, Low Carbon Economy.</p>

The paper comprehensively links the solution of the processing municipal solid waste (MSW) problem with the production of energy, the development of renewable energy and the greenhouse gas emissions reduction. There was determined being based on the analysis of global trends in the field of MSW management that the generation of energy from waste, the production of non-recyclable fractions of renewable energy on the basis of processing is an important direction of a low carbon economy and reducing the burden on the environment. There was carried out an ecological and economic assessment of the main technologies of thermal processing of MSW. The contribution of the implementation of investment projects for the construction of waste energy plants to the implementation of Russia's national goals in the field of waste management is shown in the Moscow region and Sochi. Taking into account the existing foreign experience, measures for financing and supporting investment projects for energy waste disposal were proposed: the introduction of a green tariff for MSW-to-energy processing facilities; the use of an investment incentive mechanism based on capacity supply agreements (PDMS); the implementation of an extended producer responsibility mechanism; state support measures; the attraction of green bonds; the use of equity and project financing methods, and quotas trading in greenhouse gas emissions. The practical significance of the research is to substantiate the possibility and necessity of developing and implementing investment projects for energy waste disposal, energy generation and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Purpose The Low carbon (LC) agenda has captured interest across governments and research communities. But such focus is not addressed so far in the operation of municipal solid waste (MSW) infrastructure in India. The purpose of this paper is to draw focus on the promotion of low carbon infrastructure by improving the procurement process of the public–private partnership (PPP) approach. Design/methodology/approach The current study employed a case study methodology. This paper develops and validates a “five-fold framework,” comprising of selection, financial, operational, standards and targets measures, for integrating LC principles in the procurement of infrastructure projects. Findings The public sector fails to understand the importance of the need to incorporate climate change mitigation strategies due to poor procurement competencies. With respect to the operationalization of the framework, funding of viability gap in operations instead of construction, allowing renegotiation clauses to cater possible future LC technological improvements and incorporating emission reduction targets at the local and national levels were highlighted. Research limitations/implications LC principles presented in this paper are not exhaustive and are verified using a single Indian PPP case. Future research endeavor can focus on the relevancy and operationalization of these principles using a more elaborate set of indicators and extend the study to other sectors and countries. Originality/value This paper seeks to act as guidelines for governments on how to create and improve LC MSW PPP infrastructure projects to facilitate simultaneous achievement of both climate change mitigation and infrastructure delivery goals. The current study could add value to the current emphasis on LC transitions by policymakers, government agencies and regulators.
