  • Energy Recovery from Waste Incineration—The Importance of Technology Data and System Boundaries on CO2 Emissions
    energies Article Energy Recovery from Waste Incineration—The Importance of Technology Data and System Boundaries on CO2 Emissions Ola Eriksson 1,* and Göran Finnveden 2 1 Faculty of Engineering and Sustainable Development, Department of Building, Energy and Environmental Engineering, University of Gävle, SE 801 76 Gävle, Sweden 2 Division of Environmental Strategies Research–fms, Department of Sustainable Development, Environmental Sciences and Engineering (SEED), School of Architecture and the Built Environment, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, SE 100 44 Stockholm, Sweden; goran.fi[email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +46-26-648145 Academic Editor: George Kosmadakis Received: 19 October 2016; Accepted: 12 April 2017; Published: 15 April 2017 Abstract: 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 crucial, how much each parameter affects results and conclusions and how different aspects depend on each other. The interconnection between waste incineration and the energy system is elaborated by testing parameters potentially crucial to the result: design of the incineration plant, avoided energy generation, degree of efficiency, electricity efficiency in combined heat and power plants (CHP), avoided fuel, emission level of the avoided electricity generation and avoided waste management. CO2 emissions have been calculated for incineration of 1 kWh mixed combustible waste. The results indicate that one of the most important factors is the electricity efficiency in CHP plants in combination with the emission level of the avoided electricity generation.

In December 2018 the new RED II was published in the Internal combustion engine OfficialJournal of the European Union. Therefore, it is now the right time to provide a comprehensive overview Power generation of achievements and practices that were developed within the current perspective. To comply with this objective, Renewable energy directive Biofuels the present study focuses on a comprehensive and systematic technical evaluation of all key aspects of the different distributed energy generation pathways using bioliquids in reciprocating engines and micro gas tur­ bines that were overseen by these EU actions.
