Compania suedeza Usitall nu mai vrea sa investeasca in Romania si se indreapta catre alte piete europene

Compania suedeza Usitall, specializata in dezvoltarea de centrale de productie a energiei electrice si termice pe baza de deseuri, a decis oprirea discutiilor cu municipalitatile din Romania si orientarea strategiei companiei catre alte piete europene, se arata intr-un comunicat al companiei. Potrivit acestuia, compania suedeza a purtat numeroase discutii si negocieri cu autoritati locale din mai multe municipii in vederea construirii in Romania a unor centrale termice in cogenerare. Vezi in text motivele renuntarii.

"Desi Romania are o strategie nationala de gestionare a deseurilor si obiective clare impuse de Uniunea Europeana care presupun mai multe tinte intermediare, precum cele legate de inchiderea gropilor de gunoi neconforme normelor de mediu, nu exista inca un plan de implementare a acestei strategii care sa se bucure de sustinerea si de vointa intregii clase politice", a declarat Mattias Philipsson, CEO Usitall.

Comunicatul mai arata ca Usitall, ca dezvoltator al proiectelor, ar fi asigurat integral finantarea, principalele beneficii pentru comunitatile locale fiind productia de energie termica la costuri minime si eliminarea gunoiului municipal. Tehnologia Usitall ar fi rezolvat doua mari probleme cu care se confrunta municipalitatile din Romania: cea a asigurarii caldurii, apei calde si energiei electrice la preturi competitive, precum si eliminarea deseurilor menajere in conditii de siguranta si cu impact minim asupra mediului inconjurator.

"Negocierile noastre au esuat in primul rand la nivel local. Desi reprezentantii municipalitatilor au avut acces la toate informatiile despre tehnologia Usitall o perioada indelungata, nu a existat niciun angajament din partea acestora fata de planul nostru de investitie, in ciuda faptului ca solutia noastra de cogenerare ar asigura, in doar cativa ani, incalzirea apartamentelor din aceste orase la preturi extrem de competitive, folosind doar deseuri municipale. Din pacate, la nivelul autoritatilor locale nu exista deocamdata un plan sustenabil pentru asigurarea agentului termic pe termen lung, la costuri mici sau in ceea ce priveste impactul deseurilor asupra mediului inconjurator. Probabil mai sunt necesari cativa ani pana se va ajunge la prioritizarea acestor proiecte, noi ne mentinem disponibilitatea de a impartasi din experienta noastra in acest domeniu", a adaugat Mattias Philipsson.

Pentru a stimula investitiile straine la nivel local in acest domeniu, oficialii Usitall considera ca autoritatile ar trebui sa atribuie in totalitate municipalitatilor puterea de a decide referitor la modalitatea de exploatare a deseurilor municipale, asa cm se intampla in toate celelalte state
europene.

Usitall este o companie suedeza cu o experienta de peste 60 de ani in constructia si operarea centralelor de cogenerare ce functioneaza prin valorificarea deseurilor municipale. Avantajul sistemului Usitall de producere a energiei consta in faptul ca foloseste o resursa regenerabila produsa local " gunoiul municipal" care poate inlocui cu succes combustibilii fosili pentru generarea de energie termica si electrica la preturi competitive.

Sweden imports waste from European neighbors to fuel waste-to-energy program
Sweden's successful waste-to-energy program converts household waste into energy for heating and electricity. But they've run into an unusual problem: they simply aren't generating enough trash to power the incinerators, so they've begun importing waste from European neighbors.

When it comes to recycling, Sweden is incredibly successful. Just four percent of household waste in Sweden goes into landfills. The rest winds up either recycled or used as fuel in waste-to-energy power plants.

Burning the garbage in the incinerators generates 20 percent of Sweden’s district heating, a system of distributing heat by pumping heated water into pipes through residential and commercial buildings. It also provides electricity for a quarter of a million homes.

According to Swedish Waste Management, Sweden recovers the most energy from each ton of waste in the waste to energy plants, and energy recovery from waste incineration has increased dramatically just over the last few years.

The problem is, Sweden’s waste recycling program is too successful.

Catarina Ostlund, Senior Advisor for the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency said the country is producing much less burnable waste than it needs.

“We have more capacity than the production of waste in Sweden and that is usable for incineration,” Ostlund said.

However, they’ve recently found a solution.

Sweden has recently begun to import about eight hundred thousand tons of trash from the rest of Europe per year to use in its power plants. The majority of the imported waste comes from neighboring Norway because it’s more expensive to burn the trash there and cheaper for the Norwegians to simply export their waste to Sweden.

In the arrangement, Norway pays Sweden to take the waste off their hands and Sweden also gets electricity and heat. But dioxins in the ashes of the waste byproduct are a serious environmental pollutant. Ostlund explained that there are also heavy metals captured within the ash that need to be landfilled. Those ashes are then exported to Norway.

This arrangement works particularly well for Sweden, since in Sweden the energy from the waste is needed for heat. According to Ostlund, when both heat and electricity are used, there’s much higher efficiency for power plants.

“So that’s why we have the world’s best incineration plants concerning energy efficiency. But I would say maybe in the future, this waste will be valued even more so maybe you could sell your waste because there will be a shortage of resources within the world,” Ostlund said.

Ostlund said Sweden hopes that in the future Europe will build its own plants so it can manage to take care of its own waste.

“I hope that we instead will get the waste from Italy or from Romania or Bulgaria or the Baltic countries because they landfill a lot in these countries. They don’t have any incineration plants or recycling plants, so they need to find a solution for their waste,” Ostlund said.

In fact, landfilling remains the principal way of disposal in those countries, but new waste-to-energy initiatives have been introduced in Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, and Lithuania.

It is also important, Ostlund notes, for Sweden to find ways to reduce its own waste in the future.

“This is not a long-term solution really, because we need to be better to reuse and recycle, but in the short perspective I think it’s quite a good solution,” Ostlund concluded.
