28 Summary of LFG-to to-energy - Nanjido Landfill, Seoul - LFG utilization reduces 80% of GHG emi. 200,000 CO 2 tons of GHG emission reduction/year for 19 years. U$2.7 mil of monetary benefits/year. (Construction costs, labor costs, etc are not included.). Saving of fossil fuel consumption. 28

29 Policy Implications (Tentative) All mega-cities: to increase recycling/ reuse rate of MSW & to develop more effective policy strategies. to reduce food waste generation & its utilization. Beijing & Shanghai: need new facilities, policy instruments, & citizen participation. Seoul: to increase the operation rate of incineration plants (current rates: 36%). to benchmark the operation of Tokyo incineration plants. Tokyo: to refer to LFG utilization in Seoul. 29
