Abstract
Increasing restriction on emissions from waste management
has generated a number of clean waste management
technologies that potentially can be applied in Kyoto
Protocol project-based CDM and JI mechanisms.. These
mechanisms give a strong incentive to construct and
operate waste management installation in host countries
as it generates income from selling certified emission
reductions (CERs) or emission reduction units (ERUs). The
paper focuses on new concepts of MSW management in the
reduction of GHG emissions. The emission reduction
potentials of the concepts are assessed in reference
cases. Implementation costs of the concepts are estimated
as well as the business opportunities under CDM or JI
mechanisms. Furthermore,the paper outlines a JI-project
on landfill gas recovery combined with utilization of the
gas. The case study describes recovery of landfill gas on
a landfill in St Petersburg in order to reduce CH4
emissions at the landfill site, and thus to generate
Emission Reduction Units (ERUs).
