Reflejando una tendencia general en el sector energ\u00e9tico, el condado de Bay, Florida, vot\u00f3 recientemente para cerrar una planta local de transformaci\u00f3n de residuos en energ\u00eda. Al decidir cerrar la instalaci\u00f3n de 34 a\u00f1os de antig\u00fcedad, operada por Ingenier\u00eda<\/a>\u00a0y est\u00e1 ubicada en Ciudad de Panam\u00e1, los comisionados del condado citaron su antig\u00fcedad, costos de operaci\u00f3n y limitaciones de crecimiento.<\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan un informe en Basura Dive<\/a>, la instalaci\u00f3n cerrar\u00e1 en 2021. Funcionarios del condado estimaron que el cierre de la instalaci\u00f3n reducir\u00e1 las tarifas por tonelada, de $50 por tonelada a aproximadamente $35 por tonelada. Los desechos que actualmente maneja la instalaci\u00f3n se trasladar\u00e1n a un vertedero local, un cambio que puede permitir una mayor inversi\u00f3n en programas locales de reciclaje. El antiguo programa de reciclaje convencional del condado de Bay cerr\u00f3 despu\u00e9s del hurac\u00e1n Michael en 2018, seg\u00fan Waste Dive.<\/p>\n

El art\u00edculo se\u00f1ala que este cierre forma parte de una tendencia.<\/p>\n

\u201cEl cierre de la planta de Bay County se ajusta a una tendencia m\u00e1s amplia de clausura de incineradoras antiguas en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, mientras que los nuevos sitios tardan m\u00e1s en aparecer. Seg\u00fan un informe de 2019<\/a>\u00a0por el Energy Recovery Council (ERC), una organizaci\u00f3n comercial de la industria, el sitio del condado de Bay es una de las 11 instalaciones de este tipo en Florida de poco m\u00e1s de 70 en todo el pa\u00eds. La instalaci\u00f3n tiene una capacidad de 500 toneladas por d\u00eda, menos de la mitad de la cantidad procesada por la mayor\u00eda de las otras instalaciones de incineraci\u00f3n masiva o de combustible derivado de residuos en el estado.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

En otro art\u00edculo de noticias centrado en el cierre, el Noticias de Ciudad de Panam\u00e1 Herald <\/a>reportado<\/a>\u00a0que las consideraciones fiscales impulsaron la decisi\u00f3n de los comisionados. Un comisionado se\u00f1al\u00f3 que se trataba de una decisi\u00f3n empresarial, motivada por el hecho de que continuar operando elevar\u00eda los costos en $23 por tonelada cuando las tarifas de vertedero del \u00e1rea ya eran m\u00e1s altas que el est\u00e1ndar de la industria.<\/p>\n

La Alianza Global por Alternativas a la Incineraci\u00f3n (GAIA) subray\u00f3 el hecho de que la decisi\u00f3n de Bay County refleja tendencias m\u00e1s amplias en la industria de residuos. Vivian Breckenridge, coordinadora del Proyecto de Incineradoras Fallidas de GAIA, quien se enfoca en Estados Unidos y Canad\u00e1, dijo:<\/p>\n

\u201cEstas son instalaciones obsoletas. Muchas de ellas llevan 30 a\u00f1os en operaci\u00f3n. Requieren mucho mantenimiento para seguir funcionando y cumplir con los est\u00e1ndares y regulaciones de calidad del aire\u2026 si una incineradora tiene dificultades financieras, simplemente no es rentable.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Breckenridge dijo que los problemas en torno al cambio clim\u00e1tico y la proximidad de las instalaciones industriales al agua deber\u00edan impulsar un mayor escrutinio comunitario de los sistemas de eliminaci\u00f3n de desechos en Florida, una zona propensa a huracanes. Por ejemplo, el hurac\u00e1n Michael desconect\u00f3 temporalmente el incinerador cuando azot\u00f3 en 2018, obligando al condado a autorizar reparaciones de emergencia. Al mismo tiempo, la topograf\u00eda de tierras bajas de Florida es una de las razones por las que m\u00e1s plantas de valorizaci\u00f3n energ\u00e9tica que cualquier otro estado<\/a>, ya que la ubicaci\u00f3n de vertederos puede ser un desaf\u00edo.<\/p>\n

Pero Breckenridge tambi\u00e9n expres\u00f3 preocupaci\u00f3n por la medida del condado de redirigir sus desechos a un vertedero, calificando el escenario como una \u201cfalsa soluci\u00f3n\u201d que presenta desaf\u00edos ambientales adicionales.<\/p>\n

\u201cEs bueno que estas instalaciones hayan cerrado\u201d, agreg\u00f3. \u201cPero tambi\u00e9n es un poco preocupante que el plan parezca ser enviar todos los desechos a un vertedero en su lugar\u201d.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A pesar de la decisi\u00f3n del condado de Bay, las tecnolog\u00edas de incineraci\u00f3n masiva siguen siendo un \u00e1rea de inter\u00e9s en otras partes de Florida. A finales de abril, el condado de Pasco votado<\/a> para avanzar con las negociaciones para dise\u00f1ar y construir una expansi\u00f3n de su propia incineradora, operada actualmente por Covanta. En las llamadas de resultados, Covanta tambi\u00e9n ha hablado de<\/a>\u00a0\u201cdiscusiones activas con m\u00faltiples comunidades de clientes\u201d en los Estados Unidos con respecto a la capacidad nueva y de reemplazo, incluso cuando la compa\u00f1\u00eda se ha mostrado cautelosa sobre el futuro de la expansi\u00f3n a mayor escala en comparaci\u00f3n con otros pa\u00edses que tienen m\u00e1s instalaciones en construcci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
