This facility would help Singapore better manage the rising amount of waste in our land-scarce island. Feasibility study on multi-storey recycling facility The feasibility study saw the co-developing of solutions for higher land-use efficiency among the three agencies and the waste management sector. Further industry consultations are currently being conducted. 90 In June 2015, NEA sought innovative and new ideas for the thermal treatment of municipal solid waste that could reduce waste volume, increase energy recovery and enhance environmental performance. This initiative is funded by the National Research Foundation under the Waste-to-Energy Programme. In February 2016, NEA awarded grants to two projects from the proposals submitted. The two projects focus on achieving higher energy recovery in Waste-to- In November 2015, NEA issued an invitation for proposals for a pilot mechanical and biological treatment facility. This facility will feature technologies to maximise recycling and resource recovery from domestic waste, and is to be privately financed, owned and operated. The facility is part of NEA’s long-term strategy to manage domestic waste in Singapore. It is also in line with the government’s plans to move Singapore towards becoming a Zero Waste Nation. This facility will help bring Singapore closer to achieving its target of 70% recycling rate by 2030 and reduce the environmental impact of landfilling waste. Waste-to-Energy Programme Call for proposal for mechanical and biological treatment facility Energy plants, and cover research into phase change materials as a heat transfer medium for more stable steam production, as well as the clean-up of synthesis gas from waste gasification for use in a more efficient energy conversion system. NEA will assess how well the proposed pilot facility complements existing waste treatment infrastructure and its potential to serve as an alternative method of treatment for domestic waste.
