II. WtE development •  Overview 

In Romania there are no installations for energy recovery from MSW (June 2010). New RomanianWaste Management Strategy  for the period 2009 – 2015 (in approval procedure) considers that

energy recovery from MSW should be made possible after the year 2009  and it should be at thelevel of  17% of the total MSW generated quantity, which represents 1,5 millions tonnes/year .WtE plants should be constructed and operated under the following technical and economicconditions:  Quantity of MSW available  – minimum 150.000 tonnes/year (equivalent population of

minimum 300.000 inhabitants).  Existing consumers for the energy (heat and electricity) produced by the plants.  Plants must respect all the EU and Romanian legislation (Waste-to-Energy concept and

Energy Efficiency – 0,65).Responsibility for the permit is at the Regional level (Regional Environmental Protection Agency).Feasibility Studies for 3 locations have been made: Timişoara, Bucharest and Braşov.

The percentage of separate collection of municipal waste - 2%.Out of a total of generated municipal waste, approximately 98%is landfilled  each year. 24 landfills for municipal waste are incompliance with EU legislation – landfill tax between 12 – 20 €/tonne. 1 landfill for hazardous waste – landfill tax between 200 – 600 €/tonne. 6 large sorting plants (over 100.000 tonnes/year).Existing recycling facilities: Plastics – over 140.000 tonnes/year;Paper and cardboard – over 400.000 tonnes/year; Aluminium –over 500.000 tonnes/year; Glass – over 100.000 tonnes/year. 8regional incineration plants for medical hazardous waste – inoperation – capacities of 3.500 – 10.000 tonnes/year. Co-incineration in cement kilns – 7 units – total capacity – 350.000tonnes/year.
