24. Success factors
• General policies and aspiring environmental
goals combined with defined investment
subsidy programmes showing the direction
and long-term regulations and economical
steering instruments
• Waste management is a public service -
holistic system view, an integrated part of
the sustainable society. Co-operation within
municipalites (Waste-, Energy-, Water-,
Urban- planning-, etc departements)
• Co-operation between municipalities. Choose
the right scale - Build competence
• Driving spirits in municipalities
• Collaboration between public and private
sectors, with clear division of roles and
responsibilities
• A system based on source separation with
focus on communication and public
engagement
• A system based on resource recovery
• Strong R.I.D.

The development of waste management systems in Sweden has been very successful. Today, waste is looked upon and used as a resource rather than a problem. An impressive 99 percent of the household waste is recycled as energy or material.
2012
Landfill 0,7%
Energy recovery 51,6%
Biological treatment 15,3 %
Recycling (material) 32,3 %
13 TWh district energy -> 20 % of the total district energy in Sweden / the heating need of 900 000 homes
1,7 TWh electricity -> need of 250 000 homes
353 GWh vehicle-fuel produced from foodwaste replaced about 30 millions liters of petrol.
725 000 tonnes biofertilizer replacing industrial fertilizer
One successfactor has been clear national targets and long-term regulations and economical steering instruments, allowing necessary investments and time for technical development and other innovations.
In the 1990’, necessary regulations and economical steering instruments were decided about, to support the extensive reconstruction of the waste management system that started with focus on waste as a resource. Thoose were implemented in the 2000, and the final effect could be seen in 2010.
Observation: between 1995 and 2011 the total amount of genereted waste increased with 27 %
The resource recovery focus has been a red thread in the devopment of the waste mangament system in Sweden. Different treatment methods are used depending on the character of the waste.
This gives a long number of savings and benfits.
Collection and treatment of source-separated food waste increased by 20 percent in 2010 compared with 2009 and close to 60 percent of Sweden’s municipalities have now introduced collection systems for source-separated food waste and an additional 70 municipalities are planning to follow suit.
Biogas is as you produced when organic material is degraded without access to air. The energy carrying part of biogas is methane.
In Sweden statistics concerning the production and usage of biogas is compiled each year since 2005. In my presentation I will use this statistics as a starting point. The different classes of biogas production units are: Waste Water Treatment Plants, Co-digestion, Land fills, Industrial plants and farm based plants.
The division into different types are not always that sharp, but is a good basis for the discussion. In 2012 nearly 1600 GWh of biogas was produced.
First I would like to highlight the waste water treatment plants. Here Sewage sludge is digested. The lions share of these plants were built 40-60 years ago. Without these, I don’t think that the development the last 10 years had been possible. Today 135 WWTP are digesting sludge in Sweden.
They form the backbone of biogas production in Swedenand are therefore a good basis to start with when the municipality whats to start production of vehicle gas. And the people that work there forms a competence pool concerning AD in general.
Ten to 15 years ago some important measures were taken that later resulted in a boost in biogas production. 15 aspiring environmental goals were set, a climate investment programme was launched and landfilling of organic waste was banned. As a result, gas production from landfills began to decline and biogas plants based on source separated organic waste from house holds and industry were built.
In 2018, Sweden will digest 40 % of all organic waste from households, stores, etc.
The farm based biogas production was for a long time limited to a few enthusiasts. However, in 2012 something happened. A new investment subsidy programme was launched in 2009, that resulted in an increase of the production a few years later. However, this development started 2005/2006 with information campains, etc. to farmers.
Another strong trend is the large increase of biogas as a vehicle fuel. Today 53 upgrading units are producing vehicle gas in Sweden. Water scrubbing is the dominating technology.
Accordingly, the number of filling stations has increased as well. The Swedish experience is that it is important to start with a nursing market, that is fleets with buses and taxi cars, that will consume enough gas to make an investment in a biogas system feasible.
