172 Evaluation of Opportunities for Converting Indigenous UK Wastes to Wastes and Energy AEA/ED45551/Issue 1 12 Recommendations and NNFCC’s role Challenges, issues and the role of NNFCC Throughout this report we have identified areas of uncertainty, and specific challenges that need work if the full potential of energy from waste is to be realised. These are set out in the table below. Most of these are concerned with building business confidence in the links between each of the technology steps. Not all of this work will come under NNFCC’s remit but a significant amount is concerned with coordination of stakeholders and the provision of information to the market. Those topics we feel are most appropriate for NNFCC initiatives are as follows: • Improve quality of policy and investment decision making by developing an understanding of the fit between SRF properties and energy production technologies. What properties does each of the technologies require? • There is a wide difference in the benefits brought by various waste to energy chains and it is important that policy support those that contribute the most. NNFCC could add value by developing an evidence base for the design and implementation of policy and a hierarchy of uses for each class of resource based on environmental and social benefits including life cycle GHG impact. • To maximise the benefits of using waste for energy we will need to change current practices across a wide range of stakeholders. NNFCC could add value by developing an understanding of the relative timeframes of structural changes and technology developments necessary to maximise implementation. • Develop a better understanding of the impacts of increased energy usage on alternative and existing markets for straw and other residues. • NNFCC could consider the logistics of moving dispersed low density feedstocks around the UK, taking a role to assess options for transport modes and evaluate the optimal size of plants for the various feedstocks. • Municipal and solid waste is being managed using more sustainable technologies. There is interest in developing these technologies on one site, so that recycling, separation technologies or mechanical and biological treatment and anaerobic digestion is all integrated. NNFCC could examine the potential energy benefits in such trends and the impact they may have on energy recovery from waste in general.
Evaluation of Opportunities for Converting Indigenous UK Wastes to Wastes and Energy AEA/ED45551/Issue 1 Table 88 Recommendations for NNFCC’s role Challenge Purpose NNFCC 1 Improve evidence base for policy and investment decision making 2 Facilitate commercial transactions and develop SRF as a traded commodity. 3 Improve quality of policy and investment decision making 4 5 Provide an evidence base for the design and implementation of policy Build market confidence, enhance UK market share Quantifying arisings of C & I wastes. Reducing uncertainty in quantities, properties and composition of commercial and industrial waste streams. Data is very sparse compared with the municipal sector. Development of analysis methods in particular the determination of the biogenic proportion of SRF Support the implementation of CEN standards for SRF Develop an understanding of the fit between SRF properties and energy production technologies. What properties does each of the technologies require? Develop a hierarchy of uses for each class of resource based on environmental and social benefits Develop an understanding of the relative timeframes of structural changes and technology developments necessary to maximise implementation. Develop a better understanding of the impacts of increased energy usage on alternative and existing markets for straw and other residues. Identify technology areas needing demonstration.
