If the collection efficiency of MSW is less than 50 % for a rural municipality where most of the waste is dumped in field areas directly rather than landfilled.
Can anyone please suggest me suitable methodology for computing the emission from MSW in such areas ?
IPCC. Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, Prepared by the National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme; Eggleston, H.S., Buendia, L., Miwa, K., Ngara, T., Tanabe, K., Eds.; IGES: Kanagawa, Japan, 2006.
Yes, the Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories by IPCC, 2006 can be used to calculate the emission from Municipal Solid Waste. The IPCC guidelines provide a standardized approach to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from various sources, including Municipal Solid Waste. The guidelines provide a step-by-step methodology for calculating emissions from waste disposal sites, landfills, and incineration facilities. The methodology includes factors such as waste composition, waste generation rates, and waste management practices to estimate emissions of methane and other greenhouse gases. Therefore, the IPCC guidelines can be used as a valuable tool for calculating emissions from Municipal Solid Waste.
