This paper describes several benefits of introducing energy recovery technologies into the present Russian municipal solid waste system on current energy system. A linear programming model MSWRUS has been developed in order to analyse proposed municipal solid waste (MSW) system, taking into account the energy, economic and environmental aspects. The objective function of the model is to minimize the net cost of the system, under several constraints. A case study in St.Petersburg, Russia, has been carried out for evaluation of proposed MSW system. The results show that the introduction of an optimal MSW treatment system has energy, environmental and economic benefits. The proposed integrated system can produce 6,500 TJ/year of heat or 516 GWh/year of electricity in average, which can be supplied to the existing energy system. In addition, the system can reduce the amount of landfilled waste from 89% to 20%, and reduce total system's CO_2 by 34%.
