Proposals for improvement of normative acts

One of the important results of the project is the development of recommendations for amendments or additions to the regulatory enactments, which could lead to the recognition of waste recognized as a raw material, as well as to recognize the gasification process as a viable alternative to the classical biomass or waste incineration process.

The strengths of this process are the ability to recycle the non-recyclable or difficult or expensive recyclable fraction of waste, as well as the possibility of obtaining synthesis gas that is clean from tar and can be used for electricity, heat or catalytic synthesis for natural gas substitution or other energy carriers .

Work is under way to prepare such recommendations. The findings of the project team are summarized as well as the lessons learned from the discussion panel of the 77th Scientific Conference of the University of Latvia. Suggestions are expected to be submitted to MEPRD in May.
