NAMA: Waste-to-Energy (WtE) and improved waste management practices in Kigali
Title:
Waste-to-Energy (WtE) and improved waste management practices in Kigali
DescriptionOfMitigationAction:
<p>This Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) targets mitigation in the solid waste sector in Rwanda and focuses on the development and implementation of one Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plant, under an Independent Power Producer (IPP) framework, addressing collected solid waste in the Kigali urban area. With potential for expansion to handle collected solid waste from other areas. This WtE plant will have a capacity to process / combust up to 800 tons of solid waste per day (or 292,000 t solid waste per year), and renewable electricity generation capacity of up to 15 MW. The NAMA will include improvement in mechanisms and execution of solid waste collection and disposal services in seven urban areas/cities of Rwanda, focusing on enabling growth of private sector involvement. </p> <p>Emission reductions: <br /> For the projected NAMA period of 2016 – 2030, the direct estimated net GHG emission reductions (of CH4) are approximately 3,000,000 tCO2e. Where the power generation of WtE plant has a potential to deliver 75,000 MWh per year, leading to a GHG emission reduction potential (of displaced on-grid electricity) for the NAMA period of 2016 – 2030 of approximately 430,000 tCO2e.<br /> <br /> Sustainable Development Benefits: <br /> The mitigation actions support Rwanda’s national development and poverty reduction policies and strategic visions and goals. It is envisioned that significant sustainable co-benefits include:<br /> Jobs creation during the implementation and operation phases, including local skilled labour and their training.<br /> The electricity generated will be from domestic resources, and reduce the need to import fuels.<br /> Harmful pollutants (NOx, SOx, CH4, and particulates) from fossil fuel electricity power generation in Rwanda will be reduced.<br /> Water and soil pollution due to reduced leachate effluents from landfills will be reduced.<br /> Reduction of incinerator ash through use in construction of cement blocks of asphalt. <br /> Help reduce uncontrolled dumping and open burning of waste.<br /> Reduced pressure on land use by reducing the need for landfilling. </p> <p>Private Sector Participation: <br /> It is expected that the WtE plant will be operated as an Independent Power Producer (IPP), and thus be constituted as a fully private company receiving revenues through both Tipping Fees Agreements and Power Purchase Agreement under Rwandan regulations. This means that the WtE plants is expected to be private sector financed, with support from this NAMA and its activities. The waste collection system in Rwanda, and principally in the Kigali area, is already private sector driven and operated. This situation is expected to continue, and be strengthened under the NAMA actions.</p>

CommentsOnFinancialSupport:
Preparation of NAMA Design and Document:<br /> This consists of the activities and cost of full NAMA design and its documentation, including the institutional framework, implementation planning, financial structuring, support required, and MRV system design and management. (USD 110,000)<br /> Full Feasibility Study:<br /> The full feasibility study will focus on two key components of the NAMA, which are the technical feasibility and financial structure for implementing the WtE plant as an IPP, and the comprehensive study of waste characterization and collection/disposal volumes. (USD 300,000)<br />

RelevantNationalPolicies:
The planned NAMA is in line with all relevant national and sectoral policies, which are as follows:<br /> A) Key policy linkage to the national Green Growth and Climate Resilience strategy with a focus on low carbon development to 2020 and a vision for 2050. The key linking programmes are:<br /> - Programme 10: Low Carbon Urban Systems; Action 4: Utilisation of the Waste Stream (key indicator = Reduction in mass of landfill)<br /> - Programme 5: Low Carbon Energy Mix Powering the National Grid: Action 1 - Strategy for Oil-Fuelled Generation Phase Out (key indicator = % diesel generation mix); Action 2: Incentivise Private Investment in Energy (key indicator = % electricity generated by IPPs); Action 4: Strategy for Peat Phase Out (key indicator = % peat in energy mix).<br /> B) The City of Kigali has several priority actions for solid waste in its CKDP strategy for 2013 to 2018. Key among these is that waste management operators are trained for proper waste handling improvements (key indicator = training completed).<br />
CommentsOnFullCost:
The full cost of preparation covers the cost of preparation for the NAMA Design and Document, and a comprehensive Feasibility Study for the WtE plant and solid waste characterization. As well as institutional level Capacity Development Support for NAMA finance and MRV.<br /> Note that the Climate Change Focal Point (Rwanda Environmental Management Authority) and the National Implementing Entities will provide in-kind programme management, institutional coordination, and procurement services during the preparation phase of the NAMA. This in-kind contribution is not included in the estimated full cost of preparation.<br />
