We are excited about the enormous potential for mitigation of GHG emissions in shutting down of Landfills!
„With regard to the status quo, the net results for the OECD countries, the USA, India and Egypt show that methane emissions from landfilling are the main contributor to the GHG burdens.*)

Argus GmbH Methodology, Design and Implementation of Solid Waste Analysis (SWA)
The ARGUS approach consists of a well developed sampling and sorting methodology and an evaluation process to predict the accuracy of the SWA results. According to the local circumstances we can propose three different methodologies for SWA. The differences are found primarily in taking the sampling units.

Transfer stations are of particular importance for the development towards sustainable waste management, as they are a precondition for closing and rehabilitating local dumps, which are often unsecured. ANGed is aware of this special importance and has realised different sizes and examples of transfer stations where the waste is reloaded depending on the expected quantity.

Journal of Cleaner Production 229, 1183-1188. The renewable battery concept via conversion of agricultural waste into biocoal using frictional pyrolysisVakalis, S., Moustakas, K., Heimann, R., Loizidou, M.
The rapid growth of wind and solar power production installations worldwide has not been coupled with similar rates of integration in the electrical grid. This study proposes the conversion of agricultural residues into biocoal by means of frictional pyrolysis, which is a novel power-to-fuel technology that converts directly electricity into mechanical work and uses no additional heat. The excess renewable energy, that otherwise would be lost, will be utilized for converting agricultural residues into biocoal. This novel concept is defined as the concept of the renewable battery. A case study is presented for the State of California and three characteristic biomass types have been analyzed and converted into biocoal. The analysis showed that, between the years 2007–2016, the wind power installations have increased by 242.37% and the majority of solar PV were installed which account for 17,238 GWh. From the initial energy input of the biomass, the energy that was converted and stored in the form of biocoal ranged from 78.6% to 86.8%. The concept of renewable battery promotes carbon sequestration in agricultural practices and serves as a cleaner and renewable fuel that can be co-combusted with coal.

The UN recognises that “Africa stands out as the continent where the largest number of countries instituted a total ban on the production and use of plastic bags.”
TU eMpower Africa e.V. Installation of a biogas plant at St. Rupert Mayer, Zimbabwe, South Africa
Sustainable communities is a development goal and one of the key thing in the concept is about communities meeting their needs using local resources and optimizing their resource management. A development concept on lines of sustainable communities, to meet the demand of fuel for cooking and managing the agriculture and food waste, a Biogas system is planned to be implemented in the Jesuit mission station St. Rupert Mayer (SRM), located in the rural area of Zimbabwe. For the implementation, the development of a concept and the design of the system was carried earlier. This planning included a portable and prefabricated biogas system made by a German company which is to be installed at SRM. This project work extends to the in-situ feasibility study for biogas, installation of biogas system, operationalizing it and working with stakeholders to integrate the system with local social-economic conditions.
