Emissions from Waste incineration

Emissions from incineration of waste consist of emissions related to the actual incineration plant. Emissions related to use of up-stream electricity are presented under up-stream emission (Appendix D).

Composting

Emissions from composting are divided into windrow and reactor composting. Each type of compost process has two tables, emissions from the microbial processes in the compost and emissions from maintenance of compost e.g. use of diesel. For upstream emissions showing use of electricity and manufacturing of diesel for management, see Appendix D.

Emissions from microbial activity during compost process expressed as kg per year.
