Environmental assessment of amending the Amager Bakke incineration plant in Copenhagen with carbon capture and storage

V. Bisinella et al.

Summary: The study provides a detailed analysis on amending the Amager Bakke incinerator in Copenhagen with carbon capture and storage technology, showing that it can reduce CO2 emissions and improve energy efficiency. The introduction of CCS increases the heat output utilized in the district heating system and stores biogenic CO2, while reducing overall net energy efficiency is not affected. Furthermore, introducing CCS reduces the climate change impacts by 850 kg CO2-equivalents per tonne of incinerated waste on average.

Future scenarios and life cycle assessment: systematic review and recommendations

V Bisinella et al.

Summary: The combination of future scenarios and life cycle assessments is increasingly being used in various topic areas, but formal guidance on a rigorous approach is lacking. Different modeling sequences and challenges specific to each topic area make the combination complex. Inconsistencies in terminology and lack of clarity in methodological descriptions indicate the need for clearer guidelines and increased quality assurance.

Climate change impacts of introducing carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) in waste incineration

Thomas H. Christensen et al.

Summary: Incorporating carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technology into municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) can reduce the climate impacts of incineration and provide carbon for various uses. The benefits of CCU applied to MSWI depend on the energy system and market for CCU products. Hydrogenation of CO2 for producing chemicals or fuels offers higher benefits in non-fossil energy systems.

Life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of renewable gas technologies: A comparative review

Sebastian Kolb et al.

Summary: Natural gas is a significant energy carrier for electricity and heating sectors, but the environmental burden due to methane losses during extraction and transportation is heavily debated. Technologies for renewable methane production aim to replace natural gas, with studies analyzing the greenhouse gas emissions of these renewable gases and highlighting their considerable emission reduction potential. Proper implementation of influencing factors is crucial for achieving this potential.

Environmental assessment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a post-treatment technology in waste incineration

Valentina Bisinella et al.

Summary: The effects of integrating carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology into municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) differ depending on the air pollution control technologies and energy recovery systems. Despite reductions in electricity output and energy penalties, CCS can lower the climate change impact of MSWI, with greater benefits in cleaner energy systems. The main factor affecting the overall results is the capture efficiency, with increasing importance in non-fossil fuel-based energy systems.
