Oslo: Integrated Waste Management System

City of Oslo

Oslo Integrated Waste Management System P책l Mikkelsen Director, Waste-to-Energy-Agency City of Oslo

City Climate Leadership Awards Conference, September 5 th 2013

Oslo - The Winter Capital goes Green

City profile

Population 613 000 The capital region 1.14 mill Population growth 2%

Policy development Urban Ecology Programme Environment and Climate Action Plan Cycle based integrated Waste Management Strategy Main principle: Waste Management Hierarchy

Waste reduction

Reuse

Material recycling Energy recovery Land fill

Actions: Efficient sorting and re-use of domestic waste for all the inhabitants from June 2012 94 % of all household waste is either energy recovered or material recycled 90 % of all inhabitants live within 300 m from a waste return station

340 000 homes >

optical sorting

Household waste: • Organic waste -> biogas and fertilizer • Plastic waste -> new products • Waste (RDF) -> district heating and electricity

Optical sorting plant (Optibag) World’s biggest, the only one with mechanical pre-sorting Line A and B; Haraldrud - 100 000 t/y (1. oct 09) Line C; Klemetsrud - 50 000 t/y (april 2012) Sorted food waste; 11 161 t, plastic waste; 3263 t (2012)

Biological treatment • • • • •

Food waste from households in Oslo Organic waste from the market Biogas plant capacity: 50 000 t/y Biogas for 135 buses/lorries Bio fertilizer for 100 farms

Plastic is recycled • Every citizen in Oslo produce 25 kg plastic waste each year • One kilo recycled plastic saves two kilos oil • Recycling in Germany

Energy from Waste (RDF) DISTRICT HEATING 840 GWh; provides heat for 84 000 households

ELECTRICITY 100 - 160 GWh el. for schools in Oslo TOTAL CAPACITY 410 000 t/year (100 000 t/year RDF import)

Challenges Communication: Meeting targets require citizens engagement – communications is key Technology : Industrial focus essential for the success Energy: Global trade in waste

Outcomes Running buses on biogas provides cleaner air and less noise in the city Recycling Oslo’s food waste reduces our emissions by 10,000 tons of CO2 per year

Oslo’s citizens help make food waste into biogas and fertilizer, and give plastic packaging new life.

Recycling 1 kg of plastic replaces product from 2 kg fossil oil District heating and electricity produced from waste replaces 1TWh of fossil fuel 3 – 5 years to see the final outcomes, Communication is essential !

Soon the whole city will
