Feasibility Study for the Appropriate Waste-to-Energy (WTE) Technology

covering 178 Local Government Units (LGUs) in the Manila Bay Region

Terms of Reference (TOR)

for the
Conduct of the Feasibility Study (F/S) for the Appropriate Waste-to-Energy (WTE)
Technology covering 178 Local Government Units (LGUs) in the Manila Bay Region

1. BACKGROUND/RATIONALE

1.1 Contracting Authority

The 2014 General Appropriations Act (GAA) has allocated the amount of
PhP400,000,000.00 for the conduct of F/S for non-public-private partnership
projects in the pipeline to be administered by the National Economic and
Development Authority (NEDA). NEDA shall be the Executing Agency and
contracting party while DENR-EMB shall be the Implementing Agency. The
proposed project is consistent with DENR-EMB’s major plans and programs,
particularly in formulating/developing strategic policies for better solid waste
management and in assisting LGUs in the availment/use of alternative
technologies for waste disposals.

1.2 Relevant Country / Sector Context

To improve the management of solid wastes in the country, Republic Act (RA)
No. 9003, otherwise known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act
(ESWMA)1, was enacted. However, despite the enactment of the Law, 923 open
and controlled dumpsites are still operating nationwide. The dumpsites, which are
generally classified as unmanaged or poorly managed, should have already been
closed and/or rehabilitated. At present, only 72 sanitary landfills (SLFs) are in
operation, serving 137 LGUs nationwide. This number is relatively small
compared to the more than 1,600 cities and municipalities in the Philippines. Due
to the high upfront costs for the development of Solid Waste Management (SWM)
facilities, which limit the capacity of LGUs in investing in such projects, there is a
need for the National Government (NG) to start-up the implementation of SWM
approaches towards increasing the service coverage of SWM facilities to more
LGUs.

The condition of the Manila Bay has worsened over the years due to the increasing
pollution load carried by rivers draining into the Bay, exacerbated by the
mismanagement of solid wastes. This has prompted the Supreme Court, through its
18 December 2008 decision, to issue a mandamus ordering relevant government
agencies, in coordination with the concerned LGUs surrounding the Manila Bay, to
clean up, rehabilitate and preserve the Bay. Furthermore, DENR, as the primary
government agency mandated to conserve, manage and develop the country’s

environment and natural resources2, was directed to fully implement its

Operational Plan for the Manila Bay Coastal Strategy as well as to spearhead the
implementation of activities/interventions related to the cleanup, rehabilitation and
protection of the Manila Bay area.

With the need to study appropriate SWM measures and in compliance with the
continuing mandamus, DENR intends to immediately pursue SWM interventions
in the Manila Bay region to improve its water quality and condition and to ensure a
renewable and sustainable means of addressing the SWM problems in the region.
Since methane (a by-product of SLFs) has high potential to be converted into
energy, provided that its percentage in the landfill gas is enough to be processed by
power generators, DENR is exploring the possibility of adopting certain WTE
technologies as solutions to the SWM issue. However, past case studies show that
the WTE potential for new SLFs are limited by RA 9003 since the Act encourages
the diversion of biodegradable wastes from disposal facilities. As such, there is a
need to undertake a comprehensive study on the exploration of WTE solutions for
SWM problems in the country taking into consideration institutional, legal and
technical limits.

1.3 Current State of the Relevant Sector

Despite the effectivity of RA 9003 since 2001, the LGUs’ compliance with the
mandates of the Law is still very low. Moreso, finding suitable disposal sites for
SWM could be a challenge especially in highly urbanized cities (HUCs) and/or
urbanizing cities. LGU interventions, such as Materials Recovery Facilities
(MRFs), source reduction, and the likes, have already been implemented; however,
majority of the established MRFs, with composting and recycling components, are
in an “On and Off” operation. There is actually no continuity in the efforts initiated
by some LGUs, except perhaps those implemented by some non-government and
private entities. Based on the National Solid Waste Management Commission
(NSWMC) database, about 9,219 out of 42,000 barangays today have access to
MRFs in the country. For the LGUs in Metro Manila, an average of 42.0%
diversion rate has been achieved through source reduction, composting and
recycling while the rest of the LGUs in the country only reported a 36.9% average
diversion rate. This limitation has been a deterrent factor to the participation of
recycling industries, whose businesses rely on the steady supply of usable waste
materials.

The pressing concern on the increasing volume of wastes produced, its undeniable
impact on climate change, and the relatively unsustainable SWM interventions
among LGUs are some of the reasons why the Government should push for the
adoption of the appropriate WTE technologies to complement SLFs in the country.
WTE technologies will convert wastes into a genuine resource-generating and
sustainable renewable energy with minimal residues brought to SLFs, thus,
extending the latter’s life spans and minimizing land requirements for such.

Pursuant to Section 4 of Executive Order (EO) No. 192 (1987), which provides for the reorganization of
DENR, and Section 19 of RA 9275, otherwise known as the Clean Water Act of 2004, which delegates the
DENR as lead agency in the implementation and enforcement of a Comprehensive Water Quality
Management.

1.4 Related Projects/Programs and Other Donor Activities

The following projects may complement the proposed F/S under this TOR:

1.4.1 Solid Waste Management Sector Project (SWMSP). The project, which
is now on its preparatory stage, aims to support SWM in the Philippines
by assisting LGUs through investments in related infrastructures,
complemented with technical assistance for capacity development. The
Project covers three (3) pilot LGUs to showcase appropriate models for
SWM in highly urbanized regions, tourist destination areas and cluster of
municipalities. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) loan, however, is
not specifically intended for the determination of WTE approaches but
more on opening a finance window for the waste sector in general; and

1.4.2 Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) Support Project.

The goal of the NAMA Support Project, which is a pipeline project of
NSWMC in partnership with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für
Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, is for the waste sector to
contribute to the Philippines’ transition towards a low carbon
development path as enshrined in the “Mitigation Pillar” of the National
Framework Strategy on Climate Change (NFSCC) and anchored on
strategies that offer the most co-benefits to stimulate sustainable
development. The collaboration focuses on opening a concessional
finance window for all LGUs and private entities that intend to
implement waste management projects with established and verifiable
greenhouse gases (GHG) mitigation impacts. While WTE projects could
be considered under NAMA, only certain WTE schemes could be pilot-
tested under the same, such as, inter alia, anaerobic digestion or
methane-to-electricity schemes.

2. OBJECTIVE, PURPOSE & EXPECTED RESULTS

2.1 Overall Objective of the Study

2.1.1 To provide a comprehensive basis for the establishment, development,

promotion, implementation and monitoring of WTE technologies

has incurred actual damages. Such amount shall be deducted from any money
due or which may become due the Consulting Firm under the contract and/or

and energy flow analysis, and other conditions and requirements that dictate its feasibility
which include, but not limited to, the following:

 Conventional Thermal Treatment Technologies, such as, Gasification, Plasma Arc,

and Pyrolysis;
 Emerging Technologies, such as, Gasplasma, Thermal Cracking, Thermal Oxidation,
and Waste-to-Fuels; and
 Non-Burn Technologies, such as, Anaerobic Digestion and Non-burn Pyrolysis.

 Provision of information on the other available or emerging WTE technologies and

systems for the management of MSWs and their energy-generation potential.

 Identification of conditions that will render WTE schemes appropriate to certain

LGUs/clusters, including, but not limited to, capitalization, space requirements, logistical
requirements, air and hazardous emissions monitoring systems and required operator
competencies as well as the provision of technical recommendations that will optimize the
