چکیده
The scope of this paper was to examine the environmental and economic performance alternative household fermentable waste (HFW) management scenarios. In Greece, business-as-usual scheme for HFW is its disposal in landfills as part mixed waste. Within a HORIZON2020 called Waste4think series approaches based on benefits source separation developed. Specifically, separated led drying/shredding plant, located municipality, production high-quality biomass product, which FORBI (Food Residue Biomass). Alternative have been examined exploitation FORBI: simple consists transportation food (without drying/shredding) landfill, composting covering landfill’s layers with produced compost. On other hand, set technological alternatives are: one- two-stage anaerobic digestion biogenic compressed natural gas (bio-CNG) bio-hythane, utilization compost bio-ethanol pelletization. assessed using Life Cycle Assessment Costing tools. results show that both innovative proposed perform better than baseline scenario terms.
