“…Many studies have been conducted of the risk identification of PPP WTE incineration projects in China using literature reviews, case studies, questionnaire surveys, etc Consistent with previous findings, a range of risk factors, such as public opposition risk, environmental risk, and government decision‐making risk, in PPP WTE incineration projects has achieved the consensus of previous findings. However, the differences in the identified risk factors lie in the following four aspects.…”

“…Therefore, lack of supporting infrastructure is identified as one of the critical risk factors by experts, which currently might not frequently occur. Moreover, the effective operation of a WTE incineration plant requires the support of various types of infrastructures provided by the government, such as municipal facilities, roads, water supply and drainage pipeline engineering, gas pipeline engineering, communication, and so forth . If these are not available in a timely manner or at fair rates due to inadequate preplanning, financial problems, and spatial constraints, the performance of incineration plants will be significantly affected…”

“…Specific to the WTE incineration industry in China, Song et al identified ten key risk factors from six chosen projects in China using interviews, surveys, and visits, and corresponding response strategies for both the public and private sectors were proposed. Xu et al, based on content analysis, identified five critical risk factors affecting the performance of PPP WTE incineration projects from 14 selected plants and then provided risk management references by investigating a specific case. Liu et al identified 18 risk factors of 35 PPP WTE incineration plants using content analysis and expert interviews and classified them into three categories: high frequency, medium frequency, and low frequency.…”

“…In addition, the existing supporting infrastructure should be inspected regularly and upgraded in due course, such as by checking the tightness of garbage trucks and the saturation of fly ash landfills, in order to avoid environmental pollution caused by unsatisfactory facilities. Meanwhile, when a plant's operation is affected by the lack of a supporting infrastructure, the concession period in PPP WTE projects should be increased appropriately …”

As the most effective way to manage the surge in municipal solid waste (MSW) and global energy issues, waste‐to‐energy (WTE) incineration plants have been actively promoted by the Chinese government, and the public‐private partnership (PPP) procurement model is widely used to improve management efficiency. However, risk events have occurred frequently in this industry due to a lack of practice experience and to poor risk management. To investigate the potential risk factors in PPP WTE incineration projects in China, this paper aims to identify critical risk factors by assessing their severity and occurrence probability. Opinions of industry experts were collected via an empirical questionnaire survey. The respondents were invited to rate a total of 18 risk factors that impact the success of PPP WTE projects as gleaned from previous research. The overall results ranked risk factors based on risk impact and showed that public opposition, government decision making, defective legal and regulatory systems, environmental pollution, lack of supporting infrastructure, and government credit are the top six risk factors affecting the sustainable development of PPP WTE incineration projects. In addition, the causes and consequences of each critical risk factor are comprehensively analyzed. Lastly, practical and managerial implications are analyzed in terms of their management of these critical risks. The originality of this research lies in thoroughly identifying potential implicit risk factors according to the current social background using an empirical questionnaire survey based on case study findings. The results of this study are expected to improve risk management and facilitate the sustainable development of the PPP WTE incineration industry in China.

“…Assim, compromete-se o grau de detalhamento e a forma de condução das PMIs. Segundo Xu et al (2015), para evitar que os contratos falhem, sejam renegociados ou interrompidos, é necessária minuciosa avaliação do risco de PPP/PFI.…”

AGRADECIMENTOSÀ energia da vida, que me é atribuída por Deus. O tempo passou rápido e se apossou de muitos momentos que gostaria de, aqui, novamente, vivenciá-los. Parece que foi ontem o momento em que decidi me lançar no desafio de fazer o doutorado nesta Escola, em uma cidade que só conhecia por breves passagens, mas que me marcou definitivamente. Fui agraciado pelos sinceros ditames dos professores José Octavio Armani Paschoal, Guilherme Ary Plonski e Désirée Moraes Zouain que, mais do que conselheiros nas etapas do pré-doutorado, tornaram-se amigos verdadeiros, esclarecendo dúvidas e lançando luz às sombras que eu ainda trazia da academia.Ao professor, amigo e mentor Doutor Daniel Capaldo Amaral, pessoa com quem partilho grandiosamente os prováveis créditos deste trabalho. Obrigado, Daniel, por ter acreditado em mim quando, muitas vezes, até duvidei de que seria possível alcançar este resultado.À minha amada avó Guiomar Assumpção Vieira pela dedicação, carinho e incentivo espiritual ao longo dos anos do doutoramento e pelos incontáveis ensinamentos e palavras de segurança e conforto nos momentos mais agudos de minha vida. Nunca me esquecerei de suas palavras de que lutaria "do alto de seus longevos anos para contemplar a plenitude do resultado deste trabalho". À Helena de Fátima Aguiar Zerlote, pela conexão imediata e carinho de mãe, nunca se olvidando de mim no continuum da vida, zelando para que eu tivesse tranquilidade e foco para a realização de todas as tarefas, viagens e atos despendidos nesta caminhada.A minha irmã Paula, meu cunhado Douglas e minha sobrinha Maria Eduarda, cujo pouco contato não diminuiu o carinho que nutro por todos.Por todos os momentos vivenciados, mesmo aqueles em que, em alguns estágios, fiquei distante fisicamente, agradeço esta pessoa que sempre me "colocou para cima" e sempre quis minha alegria e sucesso, constituindo-se na companheira leal e compreensível (nem sempre tão!): Juliana Maruyama da Motta. Meu sincero agradecimento a você, aos seus pais (Meros e Glória) e ao seu irmão (Júlio César), que supriram a ausência de meus familiares, preenchendo com alegria inúmeros finais de semana. A todos os inominados amigos e pessoas que acompanharam anonimamente esta trajetória, auxiliando direta ou indiretamente, a quem reputo gratidão e reconhecimento.À lembrança de minha mãe Maria Lucia (in memoriam) que vive em meu sorriso e que me acompanha com a sua luz, no plano superior em que se encontra, deixando-me seguro quanto a sua satisfação sobre este trabalho.Por fim, mas não menos importante, ao meu dedicado pai, fonte perene de admiração e inspiração, homem que não mediu esforços para moldar o meu caráter.Eu dedico este trabalho e toda minha vida a ele. projects. This study also demonstrated that, according to these experts, the analysis with VfM would be incomplete and insufficient to capture the complexity of the scope of these projects. As an alternative a set of 7 (seven) indicators where created related to each dimension and a general index that synthetize the performance in t...

Waste disposal sector is an important anthropogenic source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; therefore, it is important to accurately estimate GHG budget of waste disposal activities and evaluate its contribution to global GHG emissions. Based on the GHG inventory guidelines provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, this study calculated GHGs from the municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal sector (including landfill, incineration, and compost) in China during the period 2002-2017. Overall GHG emission from the MSW disposal sector increased from 30,392.0 Gg CO 2 in 2002 to 76,623.0 Gg in 2017. MSW landfill contributed most to GHG emissions as indicated by the emission share of landfill decreasing from a peak value of 93.5% in 2002 to 65.8% in 2017. GHG emissions from MSW incineration increased rapidly from less than 3.0% in 2002 to 32.8% in 2017. In 2017, East China contributed the most among the seven regions of China, while the Northwest contributed the least. Methane mitigation technologies such as landfill gas to energy projects and functional solid cover utilization are the primary measures for reducing GHG emissions from landfill; conversion of the treatment method from landfill to incineration is another effective measure; MSW sorting and source reduction of waste amounts prior to incineration were also found to be promising strategies.
