Project Description

Problem:

• On average 750 tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) is collected in Da Nang per day.

With its designed capacity, the current Khanh Son Landfill of the city will be closed by

2020.

• MSW in Da Nang has a high percentage of organic matters and high moisture causing

difficulties in collection, transportation, treatment and causing environmental pollution.

• Residential neighborhoods are complaining about odor and noise disturbance.

Stakeholders:

• GIZ Urban Nexus Project

• People’s Committee of Da Nang City (DPC)

• Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DoNRE)

• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under DoNRE

• Department of Planning and Investment (DPI)

• Department of Construction (DoC)

• Urban Planning Institute (UPI)

• Urban Environment Company (URENCO) and other related departments

Target groups:

• Residents near Khanh Son Landfill area, decision-makers and the population of Da

Nang city.

Project Description

Vision of success:

• Elaboration and implementation of SWM Project consisting of biological-

mechanical treatment consuming a minimum space for SWM plant, so land

resource can be saved for other purposes.

• Recycling potential for the city.

• Da Nang is able to produce alternative energy (biogas) and fuel (RDF) for

consumption and sales – generating income for the municipality.

• Improvement of Da Nang’s image as a clean and green city.

Goals and objectives:

• To improve municipal SWM of Da Nang city with a sustainable approach.

• Da Nang government developed the Plan “Developing Da Nang – an

Environmental City” by 2020. In this context, Da Nang is trying to pursue a

sustainable solid waste management strategy.

Process and Tools METHODOLOGY

• A Nexus Task Force was established by resolution of DPC to accompany pilot projects.

• Initial findings of the site visits and SWM mission in November 2016 were presented to

Da Nang authorities for comments and feedback.

• The presentation pointed out the current situation of both current Khanh Son Landfill

and the potential new site called “SW Treatment Complex” in Hoa Nhon area (100 ha).

• The message was to maximize the existing infrastructure of the current Khanh Son

landfill by applying MBT on-site in order to be cost efficient and land use efficient. In

addition, application of MBT for the new SW treatment complex is elaborated as the city

has strong determination to operationalize the new complex when the current landfill is

closed by 2020.

• By applying MBT waste can be recycled up to 95% with only 5% residuals. The main

output of MBT is biogas, RDF as alternative sources of energy and fuel and treated

water to be reused.

Process and Tools

IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURE

• Apr. 2017 – Presentations preliminary findings to Da Nang People’s Committee and

related departments as well as Nexus Task Force for comments and feedback

• At present:

+ Support by GIZ: The consultants are finalizing the SWM report for submission to the

city authorities.

+ Update from the city side: The city has approved the plan for road access to Hoa

Nhon SW Treatment Complex and agreed to contract ADB as a consultant to organize

bidding and select private companies with advanced SW treatment technologies. The

new SW treatment system has to treat at least 90% of waste. It is expected this new SW

Treatment Complex will be put into operation in 2020 to replace the current Khanh Son

landfill.

Governance role

• It is expected the investment of the new SW Treatment Complex in Hoa Nhon

Commune will be under public-private partnership (PPP):

- The city will invest in basic infrastructure (land, road, electricity) and call for

private investment in SWM plants and technology.

- ADB will be authorised by the city government to organize bidding, select the

technology supplier/companies matching with the city’s criteria.

-At the moment, the city is in the process of contract negotiation with ADB.

Policy recommendations

• It is suggested more priorities would be given to nexus-related projects.

• An official document regulates specific technical requirements for a sustainable SWM

should be issued as a foundation for future implementation.

• Nexus Task Force should cooperate strongly to further promote the nexus approach.

Cross-sectoral collaboration should be enhanced.

• Further capacity training on MBT and sustainable solid waste management should be

organized for the city government officials.
