From the economic aspect, the local scenario “Maximized return
of nutrients” present the best result irrespective of which external
scenario that is being studied. Factors that contribute to this result
are revenues for biogas to the transport sector and avoided costs for
expanding the waste incineration capacity. It’s important to
remember that we’ve been studying a situation around year 2030,
which means that new investments in waste treatment capacity
must come in place in order to meet a rise in waste amounts. This is
a different situation compared to today where existing treatment
capacity is enough to meet the demand in the region.
