Potential Greenhouse Gas Mitigation for Converting High Moisture Food Waste into Bio-Coal from Hydrothermal Carbonisation in India, Europe and China
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hydrothermal carbonisation is a promising technology for greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation through landfill avoidance and power generation, as it can convert high-moisture wastes into bio-coal which be used coal substitution. The GHG potential associated with of food waste (FW) generated in India, China the EU was calculated substitution to replace either grid energy, hard coal, or lignite consumption were determined. Different HTC processing conditions evaluated including temperature residence times their effect on energy recovery. greatest observed at lower temperatures shorter replacing lignite. had total (194 MT CO2 eq), whereas India per kg FW (1.2 kgCO2/kg FW). Significant proportions overall could substituted (12.4%) (7.1%), while sizable levels methane mitigated (12.5%), (19.3%), (7.2%). savings from conversion subsequent replacement has significant reducing emissions represents (3%), (2.4%), (1%).

Solid waste treatment as a high-priority and low-cost alternative for greenhouse gas mitigation.
The increased concern about environmental problems caused by inadequate waste management, as well as the concern about global warming, promotes actions toward a sustainable management of the organic fraction of the waste. Landfills, the most common means to dispose of municipal solid waste (MSW), lead to the conversion of the organic waste to biogas, containing about 50% methane, a very active ...
متن کاملA fresh look at livestock greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation potential in Europe.
The livestock sector contributes considerably to global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Here, for the year 2007 we examined GHG emissions in the EU27 livestock sector and estimated GHG emissions from production and consumption of livestock products; including imports, exports and wastage. We also reviewed available mitigation options and estimated their potential. The focus of this review is on...
متن کاملReactive nitrogen releases and greenhouse gas emissions during the staple food production in China and their mitigation potential
Reactive N (Nr) releases are closely linked with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the simultaneous evaluation of them can help to develop overall effective mitigation options. In this study, we evaluated the characteristics of the Nr and GHG releases from staple food (rice, flour and corn-based fodder) production in China (2001-2010) and explored their mitigation potential. Results showed th...
متن کاملGreenhouse Gas Mitigation
Overview of Issue In the past two years research has pointed towards the possibility of using urban planning as a tool to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in urban areas. For many focused on the issue of climate change, there is a consensus that atmospheric carbon dioxide should be contained at no more than twice the maximum level of atmospheric carbon dioxide that existed during the pre-industr...
متن کاملGreenhouse gas mitigation in agriculture.
Agricultural lands occupy 37% of the earth's land surface. Agriculture accounts for 52 and 84% of global anthropogenic methane and nitrous oxide emissions. Agricultural soils may also act as a sink or source for CO2, but the net flux is small. Many agricultural practices can potentially mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the most prominent of which are improved cropland and grazing land m...
