Subject: EU SusTools workshop on waste treatment options 10-14-04
Date: Wed, 06 Oct 2004 16:47:14 +0200
We would like to invite you to the Workshop ?Evaluation of treatment
options for municipal solid waste? to be held at the European Commission
in Brussels on Thursday 14 October 2004. The workshop will focus on the
external costs due to the pollution caused by the waste and on their
inclusion in the process of choosing the most appropriate option for a
given application. The Commission considers the internalization of
external costs one of the keys for sustainable development.
The external costs of waste treatment for two case studies have been
estimated in the DG Research funded-project SusTools (Tools for
Sustainable Development), using a combination of life cycle assessment and
impact pathway analysis (combining environmental fate modeling with
monetary valuation). The two case studies are
1) a comparison of environmental performance and external costs of
landfill and incineration in France;
2) a comparison of environmental performance and external costs of five
thermal treatment options in Flanders (grate furnace, grate furnace with
SNCR, grate furnace with SCR, and fluidized bed with two pretreatment
options).
As part of the SusTools project this workshop will be held to involve
stakeholders in a discussion of the results (with detailed explanations of
the tools used by the team) and the evaluation of the waste treatment
options. To help resolve conflicting interests and to deal with damages
for which we do not have monetary values, experts on multicriteria
decision analysis are participating in the project. They have developed a
questionnaire that will be filled in by the workshop attendants and
evaluated interactively. Your opinion as an expert will be extremely
helpful for evaluating the treatment options. We very much hope that you
or one of your colleagues can participate. Suggestions for other invitees
would also be appreciated. Unfortunately we have no means to reimburse
expenses for this workshop. Please confirm, by fax or e-mail to A. Rabl,
whether you can participate since places are limited and will be allocated
on a first-come-first-served basis.
A brief report summarizing the methodology used by the SusTools team and
the detailed results will be sent to you shortly.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Ari
Rabl
