1 U.S. EPA Engagement in Reducing Emissions of Short-lived Climate Pollutants from the Municipal Solid Waste Sector in India 2017 ISWA World Congress Baltimore, Maryland 26 September 2017 Thomas Frankiewicz U.S. EPA
2 Overview of EPA s Efforts to Reduce SLCP Emissions Country level Focus on methane only SLCP Emissions Reductions Local level Methane and black carbon 2
3 Global Methane Initiative (GMI) Goal is to reduce methane emissions through cost-effective abatement, recovery, and use projects o Sectors: Landfills (MSW), Coal Mines, Agricultural, Oil & Gas, and Municipal Wastewater Focus is at the country level Over 40 Partner countries, ADB, IDB, and over 1,000 public and private organizations Impacts: o Covers nearly 70% of global methane emissions o GMI has leveraged >$480 million USD of private financing since 2004
4 Types of Engagement Tools (e.g., International Landfill Database, Country-Regional LFG generation models) Capacity building activities Outreach and networking Convening of global methane & sector experts GMI website
5 EPA s GMI Engagement in the MSW Sector in India (since 2003) Training on landfills: o Developing sanitary landfills o Operations and management o Closure of dumpsites o Landfill gas capture and use Feasibility assessments o Landfill gas capture and use Scope o National and regional training workshops o City assessments: Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune
6 Climate and Clean Air Coalition Municipal Solid Waste Initiative Focused on addressing SLCPs from waste sector at the local level o Methane o Black carbon Technical engagement o Technical assistance (e.g., waste characterization, landfill gas assessments) o Capacity building (e.g., trainings) o Networking and information sharing o Project preparation and identification to secure financing for projects
7 Hierarchy of Preferred SWM Strategies Most preferred strategy: waste reduction and reuse Next most preferred: Recycling, composting, and anaerobic digestion When more preferable strategies are insufficient and landfilling is necessary, landfilling with landfill gas (LFG) recovery is best
8 Climate and Clean Air Coalition Municipal Solid Waste Initiative Cities in India currently participating in the CCAC Waste Initiative: o East Delhi o Coimbatore o Pune Additional cities participating in a CCAC Waste Initiative regional network: o Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Jaipur, Mumbai
9 EPA s Areas of Focus for Ongoing Activities Encourage more cities in India to join the CCAC Waste Initiative o Building on GMI experience Ensure that participating cities receive technical support o Current focus: East Delhi and Coimbatore Support CCAC Waste Initiative implementers and partners o The Energy and Resources Institute Identify opportunities to collaborate with other stakeholders and leverage existing work o Indian Ministry of Urban Development, C40, GiZ, ISWA

12 Short-lived Climate Pollutants SLCPs: Greenhouse gases and aerosols that o Contribute to global warming o Remain in the atmosphere for short periods o Impact human health, agriculture, ecosystems Benefits of near-term mitigation of SLCPs: o 0.5 o C in avoided warming in 2050 o 2.4 million avoided premature deaths o 30 million tonnes of avoided annual crop losses SLCPs from the MSW sector: methane and black carbon
13 Methane Produced by anaerobic decomposition of organic material (e.g., in landfills) Strong greenhouse gas (28-36 times stronger than CO 2 ) Contributes to the formation of tropospheric ozone, an air pollutant
14 Black Carbon A component of particulate matter Emitted as a byproduct from incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuels, and biomass o E.g., from waste collection trucks and open fires Very strong impacts on climate Contributes to all the same health impacts that are associated with fine particulate matter
