The Climate Change Mitigation Potential of the Waste Sector

Illustration of the potential for mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from the waste sector in OECD countries and selected emerging economies; Utilisation of the findings in waste technology transfer

This study presents the greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation potential of municipal solid waste (MSW) management in OECD countries as well as India and Egypt. Three detailed GHG balances for the USA, India, Egypt and one balance for the OECD countries are elaborated applying the life cycle assessment (LCA) method according to ISO 14040/14044 for waste management. For each balance the respective status...read more

Accounting Systems for Short-lived Climate Pollutants and Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in the Waste Management Sector

The Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) Municipal Solid Waste Initiative (MSW Initiative) is looking for an emission quantification tool focused on short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) to be used in participating cities. As a German contribution to the MSW Initiative, existing tools were screened and investigated more intensely with regard to their eligibilit...read more
