Complex Approach towards the Assessment of Waste-to-Energy Plants’ Future Potential

There is a fierce debate ongoing about future recycling targets for municipal solid waste (MSW) at the European level. The old linear concept of waste management is being changed into a circular economy. Since the separation yield and post-recycling MSW (later on residual solid waste, RSW) production have an opposite relationship, assuming the constant production of particular components (paper, plastics etc.), lower RSW rates are also expected. This is having a negative effect on Waste-to-energy (WtE); especially in terms of its future optimum capacity in particular countries.

In general, the system represents an original approach for the early investment planning of any project in waste management and evaluating its reliability at various levels. This tool was first introduced by Šomplák et al. and it is based on a comprehensive logistic mathematical problem which minimizes the total cost combined with an extensive techno-economic analysis. Initially, it was mainly devoted to WtE plants and their competing technologies – landfill sites and mechanical-biological treatment plants producing refuse-derived fuel. In other words, for processing RSW. However, the approach is not limited to only this technology at present.

Nowadays, gasification of waste or biomass is becoming the great interest all over the world. Especially, gasification of municipal solid waste (MSW) has been well-researched in Japan. The development of MSW gasification technology was started in the 1970s in Japan because of oil crisis. Several technologies have been researched and developed. The Direct Melting System (DMS), which is the gasification and melting technology developed by Nippon Steel & Sumikin Engineering Co., Ltd., is one of the developed waste gasification technologies in this era. This technology was introduced for commercial use in Kamaishi City, Japan in 1979. As well as this waste technology, other gasification technologies have been developed for commercial use and installed.
