Waste management - Least Developed Countries (LDCs) – Composting
• LDC’s : around 40% waste collection• Role of municipalities but little financial resources• Importance of informal sector• Average 70% organic matter compost : holistic approach
• Reduces residual volumes to landfill• Reduces polution risks• Reduces GHG emissions• Creates jobs (notably for waste pickers)• Favours sustainable agriculture and adaptation to climate change

Emission reductions calculation according to UNFCCC methodology
• Baseline emissions : SWDS
BECH4 ,SWDS,y= K1 * DOCj)
• Project emissions : Compost
PEy = PEy,power + PEy,comp + PEy,runoff + PEy,res waste
ER = BE - PE
6
CDM method analysis
• Ten years calculation• Climat : rain > 1000mm/year. T° : >20°C • Calculation data:– Local values (climate)– Monitored values (SWDS management – waste quantity)– Default values (decay rate – fraction of DOC)

Conservativness of methodology
• Kinetics • Default values• Constant evolutions
• Has been criticized
scientific justification ?

X ton composted every year- calculation of ER on the year of treatment

Main recent methodological evolutions (1)
• Global uncertainty factor : from 10% to 20%• Nitrous oxide emissions in project emissions but not
in baseline• Monitoring CH4 and N2O very complicated – default
values very high

Main recent methodological evolutions (2)
25000 tons organic waste treated in the year of calculation. Calculation version 10.
25000tons organic waste treated in the year of calculation. Calculation version 11.

Total (10 years) 53 500 TCO2eq reduction emission 25 500 TCO2eq reduction emission

Difficult investment

Drawbacks but not advantages
• Methane and nitrous oxide emissions
• Leachates from composting
• Emission from anaerobic storage
• Social impact ?– Job creation– informal workers (re)
insertion • Climate change ?– Agronomic parameters ?– Soil parameters ?
• Longer life for landfills• Less costs for
municipalities
17
What we’d like to propose Life cycle analysis
• CERF (compost emissions reduction factor) = Csb + (Wb + Eb +Fb +Hb)*C -Te + Pe + Fe
With • CSb = Emission reductions associated with the increased carbon storage in soil
(MTCO2E/ton of feedstock)• Wb = Emission reductions due to decreased water use (MTCO2E/ton of compost)• Eb = Emission reduction associated with decreased soil erosion (MTCO2E/ton of compost)• Fb = Factor to account for the reduced fertilizer use (MTCO2E/ton of compost)• Hb = Factor to account for the reduced herbicide use (MTCO2E/ton of compost)• C = Conversion factor used to convert from tons of compost to tons of feedstock• Te = Transportation emissions from composting (MTCO2E/ton of feedstock)• Pe = Process emissions from composting (MTCO2E/ton of feedstock)• Fe = Fugitive emissions from composting (MTCO2E/ton of feedstock)Developed by Cal EPA
18
What we’d like to propose Social impacts
• Job creation• informal workers (re) insertion
some standards already take them into consideration
19
Conclusion
Combine solid waste disposal site emissions (according UNFCCC methodology) and agricultural use of compost emissions reduction (LCA) for a better approach. Take in consideration social impacts
• No matter carbon finance, selling compost is essential for financial sustainability and is also a challenge in itself.
