The German Biomass Regulation (§2 and §3) allows the use of bio and green
waste for energy recovery, including electricity generation. This implies governmental support
for energy recovery of this waste. The sponsored amount calculated through the calorific value
ranges between 85 and 160 /t. The aim of the governmental promotion is to substitute primary
resources by using renewable primary products – particularly to generate a positive effect on the
greenhouse gas situation with regard to power generation. A positive influence on greenhouse
gases emissions can also be achieved through the material recovery and use of green waste
especially as compost and a turf-substitute although this procedure is currently not supported in
Germany. A direct comparison of the two alternatives is not available in the current scientific
literature. The research project includes the creation of a database containing all relevant data
about green waste and its products, amongst others soil conditioner, substitute for fertilizer, turf,
fuel from biomass etc. especially under the aspect of carbon dioxide. In addition a comparative
balancing of different technical plants is elaborated. The research project, already examined by
the Universität Stuttgart, in cooperation with Humus and soil cantor (HEKO), Neu-Eichenberg is
financed by the EdDE (Entsorgungsverband der Deutschen Entsorgungswirtschaft).

Awad stressed that the government places significant importance on developing an integrated waste management system in the Red Sea Governorate, given its strategic importance as one of Egypt’s leading tourism destinations. She emphasized the need to comply with environmental and technical standards governing sanitary landfills, waste treatment facilities and environmentally sound disposal practices. During the meeting, officials reviewed the current status of waste management operations in Hurghada, including collection, transportation, sorting, recycling and final disposal activities. Discussions also covered the infrastructure upgrades required to improve system efficiency and ensure the proper operation of sanitary landfill facilities. Yasser Abdullah, head of Egypt’s Waste Management Regulatory Authority, presented updates on temporary waste collection and sorting sites and outlined measures to strengthen operational management and oversight. He highlighted the importance of improving monitoring mechanisms for waste handling activities and maximizing the recovery of recyclable materials while reducing informal and unregulated practices.
