  2. Introduction London Context Introduction to LWARB Policy Background How is LWARB helping to Deliver? What next?

  3. London Context: Waste Arising • Total Waste arisings for London are estimated by the GLA to be in the region of 20 million tonnes per year • While aggregates wastes are the biggest material stream - around 85 % recycled or used in land recovery • Significant quantities of food, plastic and wood waste, textiles and paper and board are disposed of to landfill or used for energy recovery Source: EA, Capita Symonds, BRE, Turner and Townsend

  4. London Context – Waste Governance

  8. Capacity Gap

  9. LWARB: Background • Established by the Government in the GLA Act and by the London Waste and Recycling Board Order 2008 • Conceived as a “forum” and a “fund”, but after stakeholder engagement, delivered as a Statutory Board controlling a fund of up to £84m • LWARB must act in accordance with the Mayor’s Municipal Waste Management Strategy (and in general conformity with the London plan) and is a seen as a key delivery partner by both the Mayor and London Boroughs

  10. LWARB: Objectives and Goals Primary objectives to promote and encourage, so far as relating to Greater London: • The use of less waste • An increase in the proportion reused or recycled • Use of methods of collection, treatment and disposal of waste that are more beneficial to the environment Supported by secondary goals and specific objectives as defined in the 2010/11 business plan: • Creation of a collaborative working environment with key stakeholders • Provision of support across the range of potential technology and non-technology solutions • Delivery of a ‘London solution’ for waste management • Support for delivery of the Mayor’s Municipal Waste Strategy (MMWMS) and BWMS

  11. Environmental Performance Standard Mayor’s Municipal Waste Strategy and London Plan sets out a CO2eq performance standard for energy generation from London’s waste, such that energy is generated in a way that is no more polluting in carbon terms than the energy it displaces. Indicative Requirements for Meeting the Mayor’s Carbon Intensity Floor

  12. Support in Policy London Plan states that the following will be supported: • Developments that include a range of complementary waste facilities on a single site • Developments for manufacturing related to recycled waste • Developments that contribute towards renewable energy generation, in particular the use of technologies that produce a renewable gas • Developments for producing renewable energy from organic/biomass waste

  13. Support in Practice LWARB has a flexible approach to supporting projects and can include grants, loans, guarantees, equity participation (through the London Green Fund), and other funding vehicles. The financial support will be awarded on as commercial a basis as the project can sustain LWARB has already committed / contracted £23 million of financial assistance to infrastructure projects in London A further £9 million is available to support infrastructure projects until 2015 – with the possibility of additional resources being explored

  14. LWARB Waste Infrastructure Pipeline

  15. Future Developments LWARB recognises the opportunity for London to take the lead in delivering the latest technologies at a commercial scale. LWARB has set aside £5 million LWARB has identified a number of innovative waste solutions that it may support through the formulation of strategic partnerships with project developers and other organisations. These are: • Gas to Grid • Waste Derived Transport Fuels • Hydrogen Fuel Cells These innovations have been identified as being capable of delivery, but requiring further support to realise full commercialisation In addition to the above, LWARB recognises that there may be other innovative waste solutions in the sector

  16. Achievements Summary Since it was established LWARB has committed almost £56,762,000 to various projects and waste infrastructure to improve waste management in the capital Helped to create over 300jobs through investments, and 1000’s of trainee roles Anticipated3,482,850tonnes of CO2 displaced over project life spans, once all funded projects are fully operational Anticipated 437,060tonnes diverted from landfill annually, once all funded projects are fully operational £210m of external investment attracted through LWARB commitments £18m invested in the London Green Fund, Waste UDF (Foresight Environmental Fund) – matched by £18m London European Regional Development Fund – and at least another £35m from the private sector
