“…However, some simple technologies are already available. Those technologies reduce resource use and improve economic efficiency and human well-being (Maier and Oliveira, 2014). Table 1 summarizes the different successful lessons of applying WTE techniques for CES from the energy, environmental and economic aspects.…”

“…Considering the history of solid waste deposition in São Jose dos Campos, a WtE system based on hybrid combined cycle (using MSW and natural gas) for the production of thermal and electrical energy has been proposed by Balcazar et al (2013), which is attractive as regards the carbon credit and garbage fee included in the project revenues. Maier and Oliveira (2014) evaluated the implications of the NSWP in Brazil on the economic viability of different installations of energy recovery from MSW, although the Brazilian MSW disposal market is still monopolised by landfill deposition. Given the comparative shortage of landfill regulation in Brazil and its relatively low costs as a method of disposal, plants using the energy recovery from MSW are economically unfeasible.…”

The Brazilian National Solid Waste Policy has been implemented with some difficulty, especially in convincing the different actors of society about the importance of conscious awareness among every citizen and businesses concerning adequate solid waste disposal and recycling. Technologies for recovering energy from municipal solid waste were considered in National Solid Waste Policy (NSWP), given that their technical and environmental viability is ensured, being the landfill biogas burning in internal combustion engines and solid waste incineration suggested options. In the present work, an analysis of current technologies and a collection of basic data on electricity generation using biogas from waste/liquid effluents is presented, as well as an assessment of the installation of a facility that harnesses biogas from waste or liquid effluents for producing electricity. Two combined cycle concepts were evaluated with capacity in the range 4-11 MW, gas turbine burning landfill biogas and an incinerator that burns solid waste hybrid cycle, and a solid waste gasification system to burn syngas in gas turbines. A comparative analysis of them demonstrated that the cycle with gasification from solid waste has proved to be technically more appealing than the hybrid cycle integrated with incineration because of its greater efficiency and considering the initially defined guidelines for electricity generation. The economic analysis does not reveal significant attractive values; however, this is not a significant penalty to the project given the fact that this is a pilot low-capacity facility, which is intended to be constructed to demonstrate appropriate technologies of energy recovery from solid waste.

RESUMOO objetivo deste artigo é analisar a participação social na gestão dos resíduos sólidos urbanos sob a perspectiva da gestão social e ambiental. A Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos apresentou grandes desafios aos municípios brasileiros, principalmente em relação à participação social no gerenciamento integrado dos resíduos. Como procedimento metodológico foi realizado um estudo descritivo qualitativo e quantitativo no município de Lavras (MG). A etapa qualitativa foi realizada por meio de questionários semiestruturados aplicados à administração pública e à Associação de Catadores de Materiais Recicláveis. A etapa quantitativa foi realizada por meio de questionários estruturados aplicados a uma amostra (nível de significância de 95% e erro amostral de 5%) da população lavrense. Os resultados mostram que o município está desenvolvendo ações para cumprir a política, porém há uma ausência da gestão social e de gestão ambiental nesse processo, principalmente com relação à baixa participação social.Palavras-chave: Participação social; Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos; gestão social; gestão ambiental. ABSTRACTThe purpose of this article is to analyze the social participation in the urban solid waste management from the perspective of social and environmental management. The National Solid Waste Policy has presented big challenges to municipalities, especially regarding social participation in integrated waste management. As a methodological procedure, a descriptive qualitative and quantitative study was conducted in Lavras (MG). The qualitative stage was conducted through semi-structured questionnaires applied to the public administration and to the Association of Recyclable Materials Collectors. The quantitative stage was conducted through structured questionnaires applied to a sample (significance level of 95% and sampling error of 5%) of the population from Lavras. The results show that the municipality is taking actions to meet up the policy, however there is a lack of social and environmental management in this process, especially regarding low social participation.
