SONAGED-key dataSenegal key data about waste management in Senegal◦ National production: 3,023,666 Tonnes in 2022
◦ Production per capita: 0.471 kg/capita/day (global average= 0.74; regional average= 0.46; Seychelle: 1.57;
Lesotho: 0.11)◦ Waste collection average: 99% (Dakar, urban area). As comparison, Urban waste collection in Subsahranafrica = 43%◦ Rural waste collection: 38% (rural area), as comparison rural waste collection average in subsaharan africa is9%
◦ Waste composition: 53% fine elements, 12% organic, 9% plastic, 5% papers & cardboards, etc◦ Waste to energy potential = 816,389 T/year (incineration/pyrolysis/gaseification); Biogas = 1,025,022 T/year;
Hydrogen: Not estimated◦ Other ressource for waste to energy production: feacal sludge: 4,500 m3/day; wastewater sludge: 21 T/day ;◦ Green House Emission from waste : 12%

Waste to energy-projects in Senegal
Former project◦ Thiès slaughterhouse (1989): Transpaille biogas plant, 36 KWh/ day; other biogas project fromslaughterhouse waste from Guet Ndar, Podor, UGB, ESP Dakar)◦ Thecogas (2009): biogas from slaughterhouse waste (biodigestor 4,000 m3, production of 100 KW.
Project stopped to site unavaibility◦ PNB (2009): household biogas project (8,000 digestors program from 2009-2013 but only 875 wasinstalled; new program from 2013 to 2017 for the construction of 10,000 biodigestors but only 2750
was installed)◦ ONAS (1989): biogas production from wastewater sludge

New project◦ CETUD-SONAGED: biomethane, biodiesel production from MSW, alguae, rice, sugar canne, but sweet(Technical studies are ongoing)◦ SONAGED-SOCOCIM: production of Solid Recovered Fuel for cemant plant (200 T/day)◦ SONAGED mobile incineration plant for hospital waste◦ SONAGED: production of biogas from organic waste

Waste to energy-Institutional & politicalenvironment
Key actors:◦ SENELEC – ANER – AEME – ASER – CRSE

National Strategic plant (PANER: 2015-2020-2030)◦ Bioethanol share in gasoline consumption = 10 % in 2030
◦ Biodiesel share in diesel and DDO consumption = 7 % in 2030

National Strategic plant◦ Law No. 2010-22 of December 15, 2010 on the orientation of the biofuel sector: The purpose of this law is tocreate favorable conditions for the development of the biofuel sector◦ Law No. 2010 of December 20, 2010 on guidance on renewable energy: This decree aims to promote thedevelopment of renewable energies throughout Senegal◦ Decree No. 2011-2014 implementing the orientation law on renewable energies relating to the conditions ofpurchase and remuneration of surplus electrical energy of renewable origin resulting from own production◦ Adoption of the ECOWAS Renewable Energy Policy (PERC) with objectives for 2020 and 2030;

Weaknesses

Desire to implement waste to energy project forthe implementation of Senegalese CDN
Biogas production experiments;
Incineration project (cement plant) with use ofRDF
Waste availability for energy production
Opportunities•

Desire of the Senegalese state to develop
renewable energies, SONAGED with waste
Senegal Business environment favorable forinvestment
Market mechanism
Existence of support mechanism for thedevelopment of renewable energies technologies
intended for the production

absence of a legal and regulatory framework adapted
to the production of biogas & biofuel;weakness of the organizational framework of thesector;
low funding for the biogas/biofuel sector
absence of a training cycle specific to biofuelThreats
Institutional framework
valorization initiatives segmenteded by sub-sectorWaste to energy-development program
Axis 1: Legal and financial reforms (contextualize legislative and regulatory texts and put in placeinnovative financing mechanisms for biofuel production, specially for biogas);
Axis 2: Developement of PPP project for the implementation of industrial waste to energy plant(biofuel & incineration)
Axis 3: Development of circular economy among national territories (introduction of recycling
plant for organic waste, specially for biogas)
Axis 4: Improvement of municipal solid waste management systems (strengthening technical,financial and human resources capacities of local authorities)
Axis 5: inclusive and responsible management (behavior change, communication, socialmarketing, etc)
