Description |
|
|---|---|---|
1 |
Landfill (LF) |
Calculates emissions, material use, and energy use associated with construction, operations, closure and post-closure activities, landfill gas and leachate management, and carbon storage. |
2 |
Waste-to-Energy (WTE) |
Calculates emissions, mass flows, and resource use and recovery for the mass burn WTE process. |
3 |
Gasification & Syngas Combustion (GC) |
Calculates emissions, mass flows, and resource use and recovery for the GC process (Produced syngas from gasification is combusted to produce electricity by steam turbine). |
4 |
Composting (Comp) |
Calculates emissions, mass flows, and resource use and recovery for aerobic composting process and final use of compost. |
5 |
Home Composting (HC) |
Calculates emissions, mass flows, and resource use and recovery for home composting process and final use of compost. |
6 |
Anaerobic Digestion (AD) |
Calculates emissions, mass flows, and resource use and recovery for anaerobic digestion process and final use of compost. |
7 |
Single-Stream Material Recovery facility (SS_MRF) |
Calculates cost, emissions, and energy use associated with material recovery facilities. |
8 |
Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) |
Calculates cost, emissions, and energy use associated with RDF production facilities. |
9 |
Reprocessing (Reproc) |
Calculates emissions, mass flows, and resource use and recovery associated with recycling materials. |
10 |
Transfer Station (TS) |
Calculates cost, emissions, and energy use associated with Transfer Stations. |
11 |
Single Family Collection (SF_Col) |
Calculates cost, emissions, and fossil fuel use associated with MSW collection from single family sector. |
12 |
Multi Family Collection (MF_Col) |
Calculates cost, emissions, and fossil fuel use associated with MSW collection from multi-family sector. |
13 |
Commercial Collection (COM_Col) |
Calculates cost, emissions, and fossil fuel use associated with MSW collection from commercial sector. |
14 |
Animal Feed (AnF) |
Calculates cost, emissions, and energy use associated with conversion of food waste to animal feed and final use of produced feed. |
