Research on calculation method of carbon emission reduction of waste incineration power generation

Taking a waste incineration power plant in Guangdong as the research object, this paper studies the calculation method of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction of waste incineration power plant. This paper summarizes the situation of waste incineration power generation projects in China. Then the paper introduces the calculation method of emission reduction. In this paper, the green-house gas emission reductions of urban solid waste incineration facilities are calculated by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Assessment combined with monitoring method, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recommended method and clean development mechanism (CDM) method. It is found that the calculation results of other methods except Life Cycle Assessment combined with monitoring method have different degrees of GHG emission reduction.
