Increasing number of solid waste management programs is supporting the growth of the refuse-derived fuel market

 

Refuse-derived Fuel Market

1.      In June 2020, Andritz has announced a new line of ADuro primary and secondary shredders. The shredders, which it says are ‘for shredding refuse-derived fuels and municipal solid waste, as well as commercial or industrial waste.

2.      July 2020, the coordinating minister for maritime and investment affairs, Luhut B. Pandjaitan, inaugurated the Refuse-derived Fuel (RDF) facility in Cilacap, Central Java. The RDF facility in Cilacap is a first refuse-derived fuel facility in Indonesia.

3.      In October 2017, Waste NAMA has taken initiatives to promote co-processing of municipal solid waste (MSW) based refused derived fuel (RDF) in cement kilns in India in order to reduce the emission intensity of its GDP by 33 to 35 percent by 2030 from 2005 level.

Refuse-derived fuels are special fuels made from waste like municipal solid waste, industrial solid waste, or agricultural waste. These fuels have noxious emissions which can be very dangerous if released in large quantities, so they are burned in a closed system, and in this way they help reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. The byproducts of burning include carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrogen. These emissions can cause global warming because carbon dioxide traps heat, and water vapor traps heat and nitrogen traps heat. Some of the best sources for these fuels are wood and vegetable oil. The use of Refuse-Derived Fuel also reduces the amount of energy needed to produce new plastics. This means that the overall effect on the environment can be both positive and negative depending on how the process is done.

Increasing number of solid waste management programs around the globe is fueling the growth of refuse-derived fuel market. Moreover, increasing such efforts by the government will further favor the growth of the refuse-derived fuel market. For instance, the National Solid Waste Management Strategy (NSWMS) focus on converting waste material into useful resources by ensuring their full utilization and eventual exploitation for byproducts and value-added.  Moreover, the ministry of local government and regional development projects that by the year 2024, 40 percent of all generated waste will be recycled, composted or otherwise put to use.

The Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the global refuse-derived fuel market over the forecast period and this is attributed to growing focus on solid waste management projects in order to cater to the rising demand for clean fuel from solid waste. For example, Asia Pacific Waste Consultants (APWC) is one of the largest international environmental management consultancy, specializing in the solid waste and recycling sector to improve environmental outcomes in developed and developing economies.
