  1. Energy from Waste: A Regional Perspective – Scotland John Ferguson – EcoideaM Ltd Sustainability Live NECC 1-3 April 2014

  2. Purpose Overview of Scottish Zero Waste Policies. Key Metrics in relation to EfW. Current Issues in the Zero Waste Journey. Residual Waste Treatment Options EfW Opportunities – Policy and Drivers EfW Capacity Development – Status and Issues EfW – is it sustainable?

  3. Zero Waste Scotland – Key Policies All Scottish households to have a kerbside collection for recyclates. Mandatory source segregation for commercial MSW (paper/plastics/metals/glass). Allows comingled collections. Mandatory food waste recycling for commercial premises above 50kg per week (5kg per week from 2016). Ban on land-filling or mixing separately collected recyclates with other materials. Restrictions on the inputs to EfW: Pre-treatment required in some circumstances. Bio-stabilisation standard for all materials to landfill by 2025. Reduce waste arisings by 7% by 2017 against the 2011 baselineof 13.24 million tonnes. 15% reduction by 2025.

  4. Key Target Dates

  5. On-Going Issues Data quality and discontinuities. Recyclate quality and market stability. Recyclate market proximity. Strategic landfill provision! Role of EfW. Integrating and defining the circular economy concept.

  6. Scottish Waste Metrics (2011)

  7. Residual Waste Treatment Options. Landfill. (MBT( – drying and volume reduction – fuel or landfill. Export as Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF - Unstandardised) or Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF - CEN Standardised). Mixed Waste Anaerobic Digestion. Energy Recovery in EfW facilities in UK. The problem with Mixed AD and MBT! Is EfW a sustainability NoNo?

  8. EfW – The Issues? Mass burn – wasting resources. The perception of technology environment and health impact. But can we prevent / re-use and recycle all waste? Can we minimises landfill without it? Is an integrated resource system truly sustainable if we are still dependent on landfill? How much EfW do we need in Scotland?

  9. Planned EfW Capacity in Scotland

  10. EfW – How can you make it work? Waste prevention. Refurbishment / Re-use. Maximum recycling. = Maximum Residual Waste Reduction. Then know what EfW capacity you need!!! Develop EfW technology, planning and system improvements. = Landfill at the very very minimum. ..should we be exporting fuels and what if we build too much EfW capacity?

  11. How do we achieve EfW in this way? Stimulate technology evolution – advanced gasification – syngas. Cleanable syngas fuel. Reduced environment and health impacts. Flexible energy platform (energy / hydrogen / liquid fuels / chemical feed-stocks). Maximum energy use – heat and power including low grade heat. Connectedness!

  13. Industrial Ecology – Applied Connectedness. • EfW facilites as anchors to eco-innovation zones via: • Heat export – domestic and commercial space heating - planning system? • Co-locational development: • Bio-drying • Food production • Local energy distribution (power and heat) • Other eco synergies – numerous site specific
