National waste management plan 2002 National level, deals with: –prevention of waste production –infrastructure for collecting (hazardous) waste –setting so-called minimum standards (techniques) –establish preferred capacity for waste incineration Plan is renewed every 4 years CA: Ministry of Environment

National waste management plan 2002 SEA was carried out: –to compare different techniques and define preferred technique – to investigate different need scenarios for incineration to determine needed incineration capacity

National waste management plan 2002 Selection preferred techniques –26 waste streams investigated (asbestos, batteries, dissolvents, waste oil etc) Example waste oil: in rotary drum incinerator use as fuel in cement oven additional fuel in power station distallation with sodium treatment

National waste management plan 2002 Comparison techniques: –LCA (all effects incl re-use of material –General themes: climate change acidification euthrophication toxicity (humans, ecology) use of resources disruption: biodiversity –12 LCA themes

National waste management plan 2002 Make results useful for decision making: different weighting –all 6 themes equally important –all 12 LCA themes are equally important –importance of effects relative to distance to target –emphasis on greenhouse effect (reduce of energy use) –emphasis on dispersion

National waste management plan 2002 Comparison: –analysis of most friendly technique for the environment –preferred technique

National waste management plan 2002 Capacity planning incineration grey waste 2 scenarios : separation in different (caloric) components with specific processing (use in power plants, cement ovens, incineration plant) 1 scenario: all waste integrally burned in waste incinerators 1 scenario: no increase in capacity (landfills)

National waste management plan 2002 Comparison of alternatives simplified LCA use of space for waste that is land-filled emissions of NOx, CO2, CO, carbon hydroxides, NH3 en dioxins

National waste management plan 2002 Relation SEA and EIA SEA (2002), national level: –Capacity for incineration: need scenarios investigated conclusion: 2 incineration plants are needed –for 26 waste streams : preferred technique EIA project level –Site characteristics examined –Preferred technique applied? If not, applied technique has to score as good as or better than preferred technique
