Method for allocation of carbon dioxide emissions from waste incineration which includes energy recovery

Energy Recovery from Waste Incineration—The Importance of Technology Data and System Boundaries on CO2 Emissions

Previous studies on waste incineration as part of the energy system show that waste management and energy supply are highly dependent on each other, and that the preconditions for the energy system setup affects the avoided emissions and thereby even sometimes the total outcome of an environmental assessment. However, it has not been previously shown explicitly which key parameters are most cru...

Resource recovery from waste incineration residues

LCA of metal recovery from waste incineration bottom ash

The important role gained by waste incineration in European waste management systems is recently clashing with increasing concerns about loss of resources in waste, i.e. metals. Even though the recovery of valuable resources in residues from waste incineration is becoming a widespread practice, a significant portions of valuables resources remains in the ash and ends up in disposal sites. The g...

carbon dioxide emissions vs. allocation rights: spanish case analysis

the market for carbon dioxide rights emerged as one of the tools applicable to the implementation of the measures adopted by the kyoto protocol to combat climate change. in this paper we analyze the case of spain, because their peculiar administrative division into seventeen autonomous communities, it is relevant to a detailed study of emissions and allowances of the industries that make up ...

Phosphorus recovery from municipal solid waste incineration fly ash.

The potential of phosphorus (P) recycling from municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) residue is investigated. Vast and ever increasing amounts of incineration residues are produced worldwide; these are an environmental burden, but also a resource, as they are a major sink for the material flows of society. Due to strict environmental regulations, in combination with decreasing landfilling s...
