Due to the growing volumes of solid household waste (MSW) both in Russia and Finland, the relevance of this study is increasing. . Uncontrolled waste generation has a negative impact on both health and the environment, so it is necessary to manage the MSW management system. One of the methods of handling solid waste is to convert them into energy. This method has been used in Finland for a long time, whereas in Russia a project for the construction and commissioning of incinerators (MSZ) is still being implemented. Taking into account the experience of Finland, it is possible to assess the impact of changes in energy potential on the efficiency of the MSZ, then, projecting the problem of reducing the energy potential of fuel onto Russia, to identify universal solutions to this problem.
