| Abstract |
This is a case study of the Washington DC metro area's plans for a resource recovery program in 1977. A landfill in the DC area draws on four jurisdictions and is obligated by Memorandum of Understanding to move toward resource recovery -- should technology and economics warrant it. The Policy Committee involved decided to pursue an energy recovery approach using refuse-derived fuel (RDF) with two electric power companies as the potential customers for the recovered energy. The paper addresses the processes of marketing, systems identification, program feasibility and economic implications of the resource recovery program. |
