At present, there is no clear methodology for determining the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for gasification plants of municipal solid waste.
Therefore, for the calculation we use similar methods given in the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (
https://ghgprotocol.org/calculation-tools#sector_specific_tools_id), in the Global Methane Initiative (
https://www.globalmethane.org/index.aspx), in the United States Environmental Protection Agency (
https://www.epa.gov/lmop/basic-information-about-landfill-gas), World Bank working materials (
https://www.wastedive.com/news/world-bank-global-waste-generation-2050/533031/), data from our own research and international scientific materials.
In our opinion, an integrated assessment of GHG emission should be applied.
According to the analysis, the following factors impact the efficiency level of gasification complexes for generating electricity:
