Solid Waste Management Alternatives for New York City

Working with the NYC Economic Development Corporation, and advised by Professor Steven Cohen, another team has researched five cases of the successful siting new waste management facilities in four nations to identify lessons for New York City. They will discuss their conclusions on management possibilities including anaerobic digestion and gasification.

The National Resources Defense Council has enlisted a group to develop a plan that will make NYC a model for reducing emissions from the city’s taxicab fleet.  The group is advised by Professor Lewis Gilbert and one result of their work will be a new piece of legislation soon to be considered by the NYC Council.
