Intro til RESURSIUM – demonstratorium for affalds-cleantech

Bloggen er ikke aktiv længere, men du er velkommen til at kommentere enkelte poster.

Denne blog udforskede kilder til inspiration indenfor affald i forbindelse med udvikling af RESURSIUM (under Vestforbrænding).

Den skrives af innovationsekspert Lars Lundbye (lars.lundbye [at] gmail.com), Blå Himmel, og er tænkt som inspiration for udviklingsteamet omkring Vestforbrænding, advisory boardet for RESURSIUM, samt andre, der er engageret i at ændre paradigmet fra affald til ressourcer.

RESURSIUM er stiftet af Vestforbrænding og vil sikre at kommuner, affaldsselskaber og produktionsvirksomheder får adgang til teknologi- og service-løsninger, der gør affald til ressourcer.

I Copenhagen Cleantech Cluster og sammen med en lang række centrale aktører fra hele affaldsbranchen vil RESURSIUM blive et kraftcenter for innovation af cleantech-løsninger indenfor affald og ressourcer, der vil gøre danske virksomheder klare til at imødekomme de store internationale behov.

Målet er at skabe et innovationsmiljø i verdensklasse indenfor affald-cleantech – en unik innovationsplatform for affalds-cleantech ved at integrere eksterne innovatorer, kapital, affaldssektorens videnscentre og Vestforbrændings state-of-the-art forbrændingsanlæg, sorterings- og oparbejdnings-anlæg og omfattende indsamlingssystemer, samt en tæt samarbejde med hele regionens cleantech-miljøer. RESURSIUM vil består af to kerneområder: Et demonstratorium for nye affaldsløsninger og teknologier, og et videns- og formidlingscenter. Med de to satsninger vil der ske markant forkortelse af time-to-market for nye løsninger, samt en effektiv showcasing og vidensspredning både nationalt og internationalt.

Growth Opportunities in the European Municipal Waste Management Services Market
Frost & Sullivan, Jan 2009, Pages: 248
This study provides insights into growth prospects, segment trends and an analysis of the competitive structure in the European municipal waste management services market. The term Municipal Solid Waste, or MSW, is used throughout this research service to define household waste and other wastes collected and treated in the municipal waste stream. The term is broadly recognised by all European countries as comprising similar waste fractions.

The report provides a detailed discussion of industry challenges, market drivers and restraints, waste volumes and revenue forecasts as well as trends by regions, competitive structure and market share analysis. In this research, analysts thoroughly examine the following service trends: waste collection, sorting and separation, thermal treatment, biological waste treatment, and landfill services.

The sizeable municipal waste management services market in Europe is experiencing steady growth and has attracted sustained interest from key participants. The West European municipal solid waste (MSW) services market was valued in 2007 at $41.81 billion, with the market estimated to reach $46.06 billion in 2014. The market has responded essentially to key EU legislations that have prompted a shift away from landfill towards alternate treatment solutions.

A combination of increasing volumes and the adoption of more advanced treatment methods have brought about an expansion in the market from $36.60 billion in 2004 to its current levels,' notes the analyst of this research. 'Current forecasts foresee further growth by 2014 as waste arisings continue to rise and the move towards more sustainable, and costly, treatment and disposal practices continue.' The prospects for the municipal waste management services market in Europe beyond 2007 remain positive. The largest market currently for MSW services in Western Europe is Germany, which accounted for nearly 24 per cent of revenues in 2007. Of the other key markets, Italy and France are the most significant, with Italy exhibiting particular dynamism in recent years.

Regional Variations Affect Implementation

The regulation of the MSW sector and implementation of key legislation continues to be varied across countries in the EU. This has restricted the shift towards higher value treatment and disposal practices. Infrastructural constraints remain a major factor for the market – notably capacity constraints and the effects of available investment for the sector. Both should ensure that landfill continues as a significant disposal route for some time to come. The sector will continue to increase in value beyond 2007, although the rate of increase will slow. This is, in part, a reflection of pressures on prices in many sectors of the market. 'Of increasing importance will be efforts to minimise waste arisings at source,' states the analyst. 'The enhanced involvement of the private sector in the MSW services market as well as expansion in treatment capacity is ultimately set to help bring about a degree of price stability in the market.'

In keeping with these demands, a number of technical developments will be witnessed over the coming decade that will directly impact on the MSW services market. These will include improvements in technology as well as the growing importance of service delivery. Competitors have responded by offering an integrated waste management services approach. This approach offers a variety of technologies and services to deal with particular waste elements that is beneficial for a municipality both in saving money and meeting its regulatory requirements.

Plastics Waste – Feedstock Recycling, Chemical Recycling and Incineration
Rapra Technology Ltd, Aug 2002, Pages: 122
Protection of our environment is now a global priority and legislation is being introduced in regions such as the European Union to ensure that material usage is maximised. Much of the development work has been pioneered in Germany which introduced very strict recycling laws. This report examines the issue of converting Plastics Waste into energy and/or useful chemicals.

Polymers are generally derived from fossil fuels which are being gradually depleted. Much plastic material is discarded as waste, such as packaging and end-of-life vehicle components. It is essential that we find means to preserve fossil fuels and to reuse materials in some form. Life cycle analysis is being performed on the different methods of disposing of waste plastics to discover the most environmentally friendly methods. Mechanical recycling is often discussed but it is limited by the need to separate and clean used plastics prior to recycling.

This report introduces the different waste management options. It discusses the methods available for treating mixed plastics waste and PVC-rich plastics waste. PVC can cause problems in some processes due to the chlorine content, which can cause corrosion of equipment and potentially generate hazardous gas on combustion. The emphasis in this report is on technologies which are already being used or assessed for use on a commercial scale. Comparisons are made between the different types of recycling currently available in terms of life cycle assessment and environmental impact.

The EU draft directive on Packaging waste includes definitions of the types of recycling. Chemical recycling implies a change of the chemical structure of the material, but in such a way that the resulting chemicals can be used to produce the original material again. Such processes include monomer recover. There are few commercial techniques available which accomplish this, one outstanding example is nylon carpet recycling.

Feedstock recycling is discussed extensively in this review. It is defined as a change in the chemical structure of the material, where the resulting chemicals are used for another purpose than producing the original material. Methods have been developed including the Texaco gasification process, polymer cracking, the BASF conversion process, the Veba Combi cracking process, BSL incineration process, the Akzo Nobel steam gasification process, the Linde gasification process, the NKT pyrolysis process and pressurised fixed bed gasification from SVZ. Typical feedstocks generated include synthesis gas, containing mainly CO and H2. By-products such as chlorides are generally sold on for other processes and slag can be used in applications such as building. Energy released during these processes is generally used or recovered.

Alternatives to feedstock recycling include cement kilns (energy recovery), the Solvay Vinyloop PVC-recovery process, mechanical recycling, landfill and municipal solid waste incinerators (energy recovery). These processes are briefly discussed and compared to feedstock recycling as methods of disposing of plastics wastes. The commercial viability of each process is examined.

This report is accompanied by around 400 abstracts from papers in the Rapra Polymer Library. This selection includes references to feedstock and chemical recycling, but also methods of energy recovery and the Vinyloop process.

European Waste-to-Energy Plant Markets
Frost & Sullivan, Oct 1999
Rising public awareness, coupled with the recent implementation of national and EU environmental legislation, will push waste management strategies away from traditional methods towards waste-to-energy solutions. In several countries, governments are even banning direct disposal of municipal solid waste in landfills, unless it is pre-treated by incineration. Meanwhile, authorities are clamping down on dumps that do not meet legislated standards. Consequently, market participants should see growing demand. This Frost & Sullivan report includes coverage of the competitive environment, market drivers and restraints, revenue forecasts, and much more.
