Purpose and goal
we will inaugurate with the establishment of a platform for a Swedish Chinese collaboration, to facilitate R&D, deployment and demonstration of existing and new technology as well as implementation of advanced energy and materials recycling from Municipal Solid Waste. The approach to achieve this is to survey of the state of the art of recycling to energy and materials from MSW, organize two workshops, one in Sweden and one in China, identify the socio-technical barriers for implementation of technology and processes. Finally a phase B will be formulated.
Results and expected effects
A platform WtEM initiative between Sweden and China has been established and a homepage is used for information exchanging. the socio-technical barriers of management and treatment MSW are identified major technical barriers of management and treatment MSW have been identified A specific project proposal between Sweden and China has been formulated.
