Property Analysis of Municipal Solid Waste and Estimation of CO2 Emissions from Waste Incinerators

Abstract: Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is known to be a major greenhouse gas partially emitted from waste combustion facilities. According to the greenhouse gas emission inventory in Korea, the quantity of the gas emitted from waste sector in 2005 represents approximately 2.5 percent of all domestic greenhouse gas emission. Currently, the emission rate of greenhouse gas from the waste sector is relatively constant partly because of both the reduced waste disposal in landfills and the increased amounts of waste materials for r… Show more

“…For the content of such fossil fuel-derived carbon, 12 C, there are differences according to the type of waste; accordingly, it can affect the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions occurring during waste incineration (Fuglsang et al, 2014). In foreign countries, studies on such 12 C content are being actively conducted (Renewable Energy Association [REA], 2007;Reinhardt et al, 2008;Stabe et al, 2008;Fuglsang et al, 2011;Larsen et al, 2013;Schnöller et al, 2014); yet in Republic of Korea, 12 C content default value as presented in the IPCC guidelines is being used (Kim et al, 2010Kan et al, 2008;Jang et al, 2008). However, since 12 C content default value of the IPCC guidelines, which is the world mean value, has a limit that prohibits taking into consideration the climatic conditions in Republic of Korea and the components of waste brought into incineration facilities, calculating 12 C content of Republic of Korea is an urgent matter.…”
