UNU - Zero Emission Approach


What are the Aims of MFM?

Systemic (energy/material) efficiency increase

Decrease operating costs

Create stakeholder networks

Activate regional potentials

Create and maintain jobs

Support innovative SME

Create a sustainable economy/society

Enhance regional added value!


What is Zero Emission?

Differing approaches and definitions!

Management- und marketing approach

Continuous improvement process (KAIZEN)

CO2equ. neutrality of systems (on a balance approach)

Sustainable utilisation of „waste water and waste“

ZE stands for a systemic, interdisciplinary optimisation approach with elements of sufficiency, efficiency and substitution.


MFM Methodology

Definition of material and energy flows in a system to be analysed and optimised

Material Flow Analysis (MFA - on site visits, questionnaire, interviews, statistical data)

Quantities of defined material and energy fluxes

Qualities of defined material fluxes

Place of Origin/Logistics of defined material fluxes

Identification of major efficiency, sufficiency and optimisation potentials

Identification of regional key stakeholders and decision makers


MFM Methodology (cont.)

Formulation and development of key MFM projects in

close cooperation with key stakeholders

Business planning and Environmental Impacts

Assessment for key projects

Setting up Joint-Venture(s) for the project

implementation

Aggregation of key projects and set up of Circular

Economy Holding

Example Energy


Waste or Resource –

Problem or Opportunity?!

50 litres of oil and 600 kg fertilizer or waste?


Current Status Quo in Marga-Marga

The total amount of MSW (~ 100.000 t/a) is still disposed at

the Landfill Site Quilpué(non-sanitary landfill) although the

operation permit is deemed since 2007.

The alternative (without the project) would be the

transportation to and disposal at the El Molle or Til-Til landfill

The “recycling action” is currently organised by the “grey

sector”

The organic fraction is not properly utilised, yet. A minor

portion (4000 t/a) is used for composting

Chile still having no comprehensive waste management law

or ordinance comparable to the EC landfill directive (with

priority on material and energy recovery).

LFG flaring projects constitutes the state-of-art


Current Status Quo in Marga-Marga (pics)


Project Aims

The ultimate goal is to establish a sustainable resource

management system based on Circular Economy

principles with the following elements:

Material recovery (urban mining) by means of full

exploration of recyclables

Energy recovery with focus on biogas production

utilising the organic fractions

Minimising the assigned GHG emission in the waste

management sector

Local training and capacity building

Disposing inert materials only


Additionality Marga-Marga

Defined Project Alternatives:

1. Continuation BAU – not possible because the landfill in

Quilpué is already overflowing

2. Construction of a new landfill

3. Disposal at El Molle (total amount or excluding

recycables)

4. Disposal at Til-Til (total amount or excluding

recycables)

5. MSW Incineration in a new incineration site

Project Activity: Construction of a recycling centre

with focus on “mechanical biological treatment

technology” and disposal of inert materials at El Molle


Economic Analysis of the Alternatives

Pre-Requiste had been: No higher treatment cost per unit (t) than the alternatives.

Total investment was not an issue due to access to federal governmental loan programs

3) Solar or

geothermal

energy

1) Design & shading

MEDA Low-energy house:5-10% incremental cost,

40-50% energy saving / comfort increase

5) EE appliances:

lighting, white goods,

office equipment, etc.

2) Insulation of roof,

walls and windows4) HVAC (heating, venti-

lation, air conditioning)

6) Behaviour
