Converting a Conventional Plant into an Advanced Anaerobic Digestion PlantDegrémont
This document summarizes the Mapocho wastewater treatment plant project in Santiago, Chile. It discusses converting the existing plant into an advanced anaerobic digestion facility using thermal hydrolysis. The plant was expanded in two phases from 1.6 million people equivalent in 2010 to 3.2 million in 2018. A thermal hydrolysis system called Cambi Digelis Turbo was installed to pre-treat sludge before anaerobic digestion. This increased biogas production by 13% and reduced sludge transportation and disposal costs by 27%. The presentation concludes by thanking the audience.

CLOSING THE CARBON CYCLE - Peter Eisenberger (October 16, 2012 @ London)Graciela Chichilnisky
The document discusses closing the carbon cycle as necessary for sustainability. It describes how nature closes the carbon cycle efficiently but humans have introduced an unidirectional flow. The document proposes that our species can close the carbon cycle through a bi-directional carbon-based energy process using CO2 from the air and hydrogen from water with solar energy. This approach could produce liquid fuels like gasoline and solve challenges of energy security, economic development, and climate change by providing a global thermostat to control atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
The document discusses the future of clean power generation and solar power in particular. It notes that electricity generation currently relies heavily on coal, which accounts for a large portion of man-made carbon emissions. Solar power could help address this by providing near-zero emissions electricity. Specifically, covering just 1% of the world's desert areas could meet global power demand. However, for solar to succeed on a large scale it needs to achieve lower costs comparable to fossil fuels, provide dispatchable or on-demand power through storage, and have reliability equivalent to fossil fuel plants. The document advocates for policies that can help drive down solar costs and facilitate scaling to meet carbon reduction goals through 2050.

Enabling Digital Sustainability by Jutta EcksteinJutta Eckstein
This is a New Zealand wide meetup event with meetup groups from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch attending and open to anyone with an interest in digital sustainability or agile. All welcome. Joke, this is how it started. Jutta is now also available in Germany, i.e. hosted by Berlin/Brandenburg
According to the World Economic Forum, digital technologies can help reduce global carbon emissions by up to 15%. However, digitalization also comes with some challenges. Thus, if we want to make a positive impact by increasing sustainability, we need to address challenges like the digital divide, energy consumption of IT, or the rise of electronic waste. In this talk, I want to explore how Agile can help to leverage Digital Sustainability.

6. The Three Rs of Recycling…Plus Two!
6
Emerging Paradigms
7. Modern Waste-to-Energy (WTE) in the US
• WTE disposes of 13% of the nation’s waste (U.S. EPA)
– 86 operating facilities
– 36 million people served
– 27 states
– Generation capacity in
excess of 2,700 MW
– 16 million MWhrs of
renewable power generated annually
– 259 million tons per year currently disposed of in landfills represents
an additional 142,450,000 MWhrs annually (equivalent to 16,261
MW of capacity)
• Most WTE facilities sell electricity to the local grid at lower prices
than Public Works facilities purchase at commercial rates
7
Proven Waste Conversion Technologies
8. WTE Capacity Factor is Among the Highest of
Renewable / Fossil Energy Options (24/7/365)
• Photovoltaic solar (northern latitudes) 12-15%
• Photovoltaic solar (southern latitudes) 18-20%
• Wind 20-40%
• Thermal solar (parabolic trough) 40%
• Natural Gas Combined Cycle 60-80%
• Biomass 60-85%
• Landfill Gas 80-95%
• Baseload Coal 80-90%
• Waste-to-Energy (WTE) 85–92%
• Hydroelectric 10-99%
Capacity Factor = actual kWhrs produced divided by kWhrs that would have
been produced if operated at design capacity over same period.
8
Proven Waste Conversion Technologies
9. Modern WTE Trends – Improved Efficiency,
Attention to Aesthetics and Sustainability
•WTE facility expansions and new construction
•Attention to aesthetics/LEED®/innovation
•More stringent emission limits and GHG reporting
Increasing •MSW Higher Heating Value (HHV)
•Boiler/T-G availability
•Use of reclaimed water for cooling
•Gross/net electric generation
•Non-ferrous metal recovery
•Integrated solid waste management/eco-campus
•Resistance to WTE in established communities

34. Water – Energy Nexus
Water and Energy are Inextricably Linked!
• Water scarcity is the new paradigm for the 21st century!
• Lower quality water supply sources require higher levels
of treatment
• Higher levels of treatment require greater inputs of energy
– Pumping from greater depths / distances
– Membrane processes require energy for pressure
– Advanced disinfection treatments are often
electrically derived (ultraviolet light, ozone)
• Mutual benefits can be shared between solid waste and
water resource departments!
