Considering the annual budget consumed by the water distribution system, it is worth looking carefully at<br />

the design of the system that could offer a short-term to medium-term pay back.<br />

4.1.3.3 Expected results<br />

Energy in MWh/year Situation in 2015 Cut expected in 2030 Situation in 2030<br />

GHG in tCO2eq/year<br />

Energy GHG Energy GHG GHG (BAU) Cut / BAU<br />

Water delivery 15,000 6,679 - 4,500 - 2,004 8,615 23 %<br />

Switch to variable power<br />

pumps (30% cut)<br />

- 3,000 - 1,336<br />

SCADA system (15% cut) - 1,500 - 668<br />

4.1.3.4 Budget<br />

These figures are rough estimates of budget required per action for the period 2018-2020 and ROI.<br />

Switch to variable power pumps 150,000 € 5 years<br />

SCADA system 70,000 € 2 years<br />

4.1.4.1 Current status<br />

Solid waste management<br />

The solid waste issue gained significant attention in recent years, not only due to its environmental impacts,<br />

but also for its social and economical consequences. Waste management services collect close to 25.500 tons<br />

per year (more or less 43 kg per inhabitants of the City of <strong>Luxor</strong>) covering 60% of the city area. Almost all<br />

waste collected gets transferred to the landfill.<br />

There is no reliable data regarding waste composition breakdown in subcategories: bio waste; paper and<br />

carton; plastic; glass and others (mix). That’s a pity as such a detailed breakdown could help designing a<br />

separate waste collection to promote recycling and reduce transport to landfill.<br />

The service operates a large number of vehicles consuming diesel. Additionally, waste management requires<br />

electricity (lightening sites, electric equipment). The overall amount of energy consumed for waste treatment<br />

represents 12,4 GWh meaning an annual cost of 6,8 Million EGP (326.139 €).<br />

Waste in such a context in quite rich in organic matters, hence landfills are a significantly source of GHG<br />

emission (mainly methane). Non-energetic emissions from waste represent 20,576 tCO 2eq.<br />

Beside domestic waste there are huge amounts of organic waste coming from agriculture (with a significant<br />

part generated by the sugar cane production and processing). This material could be considered to feed in<br />

methanisation units that could process agricultural waste and the organic fraction of domestic waste to<br />

produce heat and gas that could be valued locally.<br />

4.1.4.2 Possible actions<br />

The Governorate would gain realising a comprehensive assessment of its waste management, with the<br />

following objectives:<br />
