Regional approaches are taken to develop waste management strategies. The environmental impacts of waste management strategies vary significantly ranging from waste prevention to disposal, and the existing waste management strategy which is being upgraded. This report provides a case study compilation of waste management strategies employed in two Task 36 countries, Ireland, an EU member state, and the U.S. The case study report considers waste management strategies, applied to tackle particular waste challenges in each location, and the technical and environmental aspects of the strategies in relation to energy valorisation within the framework of IEA Bioenergy Task 36. Each case study begins with an overview of relevant regional policies for waste management which provides context for each waste management strategy employed in the case studies.The case studies included in this compilation are:Waste-to-Energy facility (Indaver Ltd.) in Meath, Ireland: The Meath Waste-to-Energy (WtE) facility is a grate incinerator located near Duleek in County Meath. The incinerator was the first of its kind to operate in Ireland and it opened its gates in August 2011. The waste-toenergy facility has capacity to divert up to 235,000 tonnes of municipal waste from landfill per year and generates 18MW of electricity with 41.5% considered renewable due to combustion of waste of biological origin. Further environmental benefits arise as due to the avoided production of electricity generated at the average grid mix. Further, metals sent for recovery are assumed to displace the virgin production of such metals, hence the CO2emissions from production are considered to be avoided.Renewable Energy & Urban Agriculture Campus (Green Era) in Illinois: The Green Era Renewable Energy & Urban Agriculture Campus is a local hub for renewable energy generation, urban farming, and community programming and education in the AuburnGresham neighbourhood of Chicago’s South Side in Illinois. The campus’ anaerobic digester system can process approximately 80,000 tons of food waste per year. The food waste is collected from restaurants, food companies, manufacturers, and residents, providing an alternative to the current practice of landfilling and prevents 42,500 tons of CO2-equivalent emissions every year. Further social benefits arise from the community focus, for example by providing an onsite Education Center which will offer workshops and trainings across a variety of topics led by community practitioners.
