The work was, further, closely linked to and partly financed by the TOPWASTE project (www.topwaste.dk) and the Energiplan Fyn (www.energiplanfyn.dk) project. We would like to extend our gratitude to these funding parties for giving us the opportunity to conduct this comprehensive study. Page 3 of 96 Executive summary The structure and objectives of the study This work adressed the current and potential (future) efficiency of domestic household waste management in the region of Funen, in terms of material recovery, carbon footprint and economic costs. This report was structured in three parts consisting of: Part 1 contains a comprehensive mapping and characterization of the existing (2013) waste management system in the region of Funen, including waste collection schemes, waste flows and treatment facilities; Part 2 documents the methods used and the results following (1) mass flow modelling of the current and alternative waste management systems designed for the region, and (2) carbon footprint assessment of the modelled systems; Part 3 documents the methods and results following a budget-based economic analysis of systems. The main objective was to assess current practice and to explore potential avenues/strategies which would lead to (1) higher separate collection and recycling rates, and (2) potential climate change savings, while also evaluating the potential costs of new initiatives. A specific focus of this work was to go beyond today ’s background framework conditions and include an assessment of the significance of the changes in backgroung conditions, such as overall Danish policy, strategies and ambitions for future renewable energy integration and climate change mitigation. This implied a modelling of waste management in four background time perspectives: (1) the Present or 2012-2020, (2) Mid-term or 2020-2035, (3) Long-term or 2035-2050, and (4) Beyond 2050. Future energy marginals and prices have high levels of uncertainty, however they do reflect the most likely direction of societal development, as they represent consensus energy policy targets laid out by both the present and the two former Danish governments. The modelled waste management systems consisted of 6 main systems each with 4 variants, for a total of 24 main system designs. These are known as foreground systems. The 6 systems represent the current (2013) system in the region and five alternative systems, which reflect possible changes in separate collection such as the introduction of biowaste and commingled recyclables (dual-stream) collection. The 4 variants of each system are connected to the treatment of remaining residual waste, which was incineration or central sorting (three variations of central sorting).

When changing waste management, waste flows are re-directed towards new applications, and this in turn leads to influences on the systems within both energy and agricultural sectors as well as parts of the waste management sectors itself. When, for example, biowaste is seperately collected, one scenario is to model it as co-digested with manure. The influence on the agricultural system in this case can be one of two options: either (1) it attracts more manure to be digested instead of direct spreading on soil (reference manure management), or (2) it replaces other carbon rich substrates for biogas production such as energy crops. Therefore co-digestion is credited with savings from either avoiding the reference manure management or with avoiding the whole production chain for an energy crop. Another example, diversion of waste from incineration plants towards recycling and/or biological treatment liberates incineration capacity, which can be offered on the waste market. Import of combustible waste, already happening in Denmark, implies avoiding the treatment of this waste in the exporting country, which typically is based on disposal operations (landfilling). In the progression of the Danish energy system from now until beyond 2050, biomass plays a role in both electricity, heat and transport fuel production. On the marginal, this biomass is modelled as being imported. But the global biomass marginal is not necessarily as constant, but may well be dynamic/progressing as time goes and global biomass demand increases. In the carbon footprint assessment two different perspectives have, thus, been modelled: (1) a progressive biomass marginal, that reflects an increasing demand for biomass over time and (2) a dirty biomass marginal, which reflects the use of biomass with a high carbon footprint in all four time perspectives. Combined, all 24 foreground system scenarios are assessed against a large variety of background system combinations, resulting in a total of 896 different sets of carbon footprint results. This comprehensiveness was justified by the fact that the nature of the background system is known to be most decisive for the 1 Based on consequential LCA rationale, only processes reacting to the changes implemented in the management system were included, i.e. processes reacting in both the foreground systems and background systems of energy and materials production. This implies modelling of so-called marginal supplies/ marginal data. Page 5 of 96 carbon footprint results and the comparison between alternative foreground systems. By including this many variants of background systems, the study is very robust to any questions and ‘aber dabei’s’. The nature of the results in this way becomes a ‘pattern’ characterizing the differences between compared alternatives under the most probable varying future background conditions, and it supports understanding the robustness of conclusions and the dependency on future developments in background systems. In the economic analysis we took different costing perspectives regarding the utilization chain for biomethane and Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF), respectively. For the biomethane use, we modelled either (1) biomethane combustion with production and sale of heat and electricity, or (2) biomethane direct sale to the gas grid, and for the RDF, we modelled either (3) RDF utilization for CHP or (4) RDF utilization in a “heat only” boiler. Waste management in the region of Funen The geographical scope of the study covers all 10 municipalities in the region, with a total of 486,000 inhabitants. The 226,000 households in the region were devided based on type of residence into single - family (73 %) and respectively multi-family (27 %). The current waste management aproaches in the region bear significant differences with regard to separate collection schemes.

    THE NATIONAL CLIMATE CONFERENCE 18TH + 19TH AUGUST 2021 Will the COVID-19 pandemic teach us how to deal with the climate crisis? ”The pandemic, the climate crisis and the biodiversity crisis are all signs that we as humans do not adapt to our sur- roundings, but believe, that we can get nature to fit into our needs. Our recent loss of control with nature should make us more humble”. (Andreas Lloyd, Information, 2021) THE CORE MESSAGE FOR THE CONFERENCE Will the COVID-19 crisis show us how to deal with the climate crisis? ”That crises and disasters constitute opportunities for societal learning and innovation is a historically well-known phenomenon. It took place after the Second World War, after the oil crises in the 1970s, the Chernobyl accident in 1986, the Katrina flood disaster in New Orleans in 2005, and after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear and tsunami disaster in Japan in 2011. There is reason to work so that the COVID-19 crisis can similarly become a starting point for learning in relation to dealing with the more extensive climate crisis. ” MC-couple (Climate and Adjustment Council, 2020).

  • What Motivates Nature Volunteers and How Is the Nature Status on the Areas They Manage?
    UNIVERSITY OF COPENH AGEN What motivates nature volunteers and how is the nature status on the areas they manage? - A case study of Danish grazing organizations and open natural habitats Sari Frank Madsen Master thesis 60 ECTS Supervisors: Jesper Sølver Schou, Niels Strange and Flemming Ekelund Departments: Food and Resource Economics (IFRO) and Biology Submitted 3th of September 2018 Preface This project came to life, in connection with the completion of my master thesis in biology (ecology) from the University of Copenhagen and a personal interest in behaviour and biological diversity. As human impact on nature expand and biodiversity decline, we need to find viable action making coexistence possible. I constructed an interdisciplinary study, concerned around vegetation status of open natural habitats and the motivation among nature volunteers. It is my hope to clarify motivation among people volunteering for nature and if possible connect it to the status of the areas they manage. I would like to extend my greatest gratitude to members of Arrenaes grazing organization, Bondemosens grazing organization, Copenhagen grazing organization Dalbyhoj grazing organization, Furesoe grazing organization, Hjortespring nature conservation association, Hojmosen grazing organization, Jyllinge Holme sheep association, Kasted fen grazing and conservation organization, Kelleris grazing organization, Kodriverne, Konusserne, Munksoegaard grazing organization, Nivaa sheep breeding association, Petersminde grazing organization, Saerlose grassland forest boar and grazing organization, Slaglunde grazing organization, Slotsmosens grazing organization, Soellerod nature conservation- & grazing organization, Sondermarkens grazing organization, Soroe grazing organization, Svogerslev grazing organization, Taarnby conservation organization, The grazing organization of Avedoere salt meadow and Utterlev grazing organization participating in this project, without you this could not have been done.
