c) The cost economic sub-models waste treatment
facilities including the generation of the emissions of
MSW treatment, [10], [15].
d) The carbon emissions optimisation sub-model, which
enables the choice of either the economic or the
environmental point of view. Practically, such
optimisation comes into consideration for regulators when deciding on localisation of a new facility
(technology and capacity) and / or closure of existing
facilities, the regulation of their capacities and the like.
Some chosen feasible minimum is usually acceptable for
regulator without optimisation.
The production of MSW at the Czech Republic is
approximately 3,2 Million tons of MSW annually (in
2008), and most (85%) of it is landfilled. The Waste
Management Plan of the Czech Republic (WMP)
together with the Directive 1999/31/EC of 26 April 1999
on the landfill of waste (Landfill Directive) request to
decline 1,5 Million tons of MSW from landfills to waste
recovery facilities up to 2020 year.
The paper introduces above environmental modelling
approach to offer decision support tools for the
policymakers of the Ministry of Environment of the
Czech Republic (MoE), which will help them to solve
above problems using subsidies of European Union
(EU).
