Study Waste to Energy in the Palestinian Territories (ETFP18011) A pre-feasibility study into various waste-to-energy options, carried out by a Dutch expert in this field, has provided a technological, social and financial context for policy issues with many starting points. The options include (i) enhanced extraction and electrification of landfill gas, (ii) digestion of biowaste combined with electrification of the resulting biogas and (iii) direct bulk incineration of municipal waste. The assessment was completed by including a non-energy option, being composting of biowaste, as a reference. The conclusion is that direct incineration has the highest potential with regard to production of electricity, but needs serious consideration with regard to needed minimum scale, needed capital and resulting LCOE (levelized cost of electricity). The study enhances the Palestinian Energy and Natural Resources Authority's (PENRA) insight into making policy choices regarding technology options.

Through actively sharing lessons learnt on an effective approach with:(1) all signatory companies of the Agreement and(2) other stakeholders interested, they aim to ensure an impact reaching beyond their own value chains.
Incoming mission inland waterway transport The project Incoming mission inland waterway transport (PTM22RW01) is a follow-up to the previous roadmap maritime capacity building project. It will contribute to strengthening the results of the DRIVE project. DRIVE is (co-)financer of four ports on Lake Kivu. Without good cooperation in the port, whereby the employees are sufficiently trained to perform their work, the ports will not be able to operate as desired. This incoming visit must fulfil the capacity and knowledge needs in regulation, bilateral trade relations, security and port management. This project is, therefore, an essential step to tailor follow-up projects as appropriately as possible to the needs of the Rwandan public and private sectors.An incoming visit will strengthen the local public institutions related to the port development in Rwanda. It will indirectly benefit the private institutions operating within the ports on Lake Kivu. In addition, the position of the Netherlands and Dutch companies as valuable partners in the maritime sector will further strengthen and the possibilities for cooperation will increase.
