Optimization of MBT considering Energy Efficiency and Protection of Resources and Climate

In 18 out of 46 MBTs in Germany biological treatment of organic-containing fine fractions takes place with the aim of achieving the deposition criteria exclusively through aerobic rotting. Thus energy potentials contained in the fine fractions are not utilized.

Within the context of a study for the German Federal Environment Agency it was examined to what extent the energy and resource efficiency of these plants can be considerably improved by fitting rotting MBTs with anaerobic digestion (AD). As potential quantities approx. 1.0 million tonnes of fine fraction are available annually in the 18 rotting MBTs. Technical implementation of an AD stage, investment costs for retrofitting and effects on treatment costs of MBT are presented. It is shown that integration of an AD stage using best available techniques is accompanied by improvements in energy efficiency and climate balance. Based on the calculated data, macroeconomic effects are estimated, expressed as costs for CO2 reduction.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
