Global Cost of Waste

World Bank projects 70% global increase in urban solid waste – with developing countries facing the greatest challenge.

Projected 1.3 billion T/yr. to 2.2 billion T/yr. by 2025

Projected cost $205 billion to $375 billion.

Global Waste Reality

70% of municipal solid waste (MSW) goes to landfills to decay into leachate and GHGs.

2.1 billion tonnes of MSW = ~24.5 quadrillion Btu of heat/energy


Slide 3





The Economic Costs of Landfilling

European Economic Community (EEC) study found that: If all MSW diverted FM landfill 2011 to WtE facilities:

Generate electricity to supply ~ 13.8 million households, or 12 percent of the entire United States.

If non-recycled plastics in MSW were converted in existing plastics-to-oil technologies into fuel oil: Produce 135 million barrels of oil per year – or 5.7 billion

gallons of gasoline, enough to fuel 8.9 million cars.

If converted non-recycled waste diverted to alternative energy instead of landfilling: Preserve > 6,000 acres of open space every year that would otherwise be used

to store garbage.

Europe Ahead of the Game

According to the Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants (CEWEP):“Europe currently treats 50 million tonnes of waste at waste-to-energy plants each year, generating an amount of energy that can supply electricity for 27 million people or heat for 13 million people.”Salman Zafar, Renewable Energy Expert.

Where are we headed?

"Ten years from now the world’s rapidly increasing urban population will generate nearly 3 billion tons of MSW per year, representing an estimated 240GW of untapped energy potential."

Senior Research Analyst Mackinnon Lawrence.

WTE Growth & Opportunity

According to Pike Research:WtE systems will treat 261M Tonnes waste by 2022

~ Output of 283 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity and heat generation (up from 221 TWh in 2010.)

A more optimistic scenario, WTE potentially treat 396 million tons of MSW/yr. equals 429 TWh power.

Plasma Gasification OpportunityAccording to the Georgia Institute of Technology: “Plasma gasification can create more renewable energy than the projected energy from solar, wind, landfill gas, and geothermal energies combined.”WWW; Plasma Gasification Turns Waste-to-Energy; (ENERGYdigital); Green Tech - Jun 30, 2011; http://www.energydigital.com/greentech/1798/Plasma-Gasification-Turns-WastetoEnergy; 1 March, 2015.

ISWMS Climate Change Impacts

Integrated Solid Waste Management Systems (ISWMS) utilizing two stream blue & green source separation significantly reduces environmental footprint:

No additional landfill GHG & LeachateFewer collection vehicles reducing exhaust GHGWithin city limits processing reducing travel miles

and exhaust GHGNo toxic emissions from renewable energy

generationMinimal Inert Residue - clean inert slag for use in

civil construction projects or recycled

Slide 9 Nova Waste Solutions Inc.

ISWMS Enhanced Plasma Gasification Program Outcomes

Extensive resource materials processing and recovery- diversion of marketable resources.

Industry leading resource re-use and energy efficiency rating {~>40%}.

Efficient, safe, cost-effective and environmentally responsible.
