Abstract:
In developing countries like India, the amount of MSW is increasing continuously day by day and out of all the MSW management strategies, opens dumping and landfilling is most common method to manage the about 70-90%of MSW resulting release of GHGs in the atmosphere and causes global warming. The present paper represented that the estimation of GHG emission from the transportation sector and dumping site. Three methodologies are used to estimate the emission from the dumping site namely, IPCC Default method, First order Decay (FOD) and LandGEM 3.02 version. Annual average GHGs emission from the bandhwari landfill site is calculated as 5.40, 1.22 and 1.77 Gg using three methods and total GHGs emission from the transportation sector is calculated 733 TonneCO2eq/year. The results of this study found that IPCC Default method gives higher value of emission while the FOD and LandGEM model gives almost similar results. Therefore, LandGEM is recommended over FOD due the simplicity in model parameters and avoidance of over estimation for GHG emission from MSW. Through, the recycling of material from the MSW, net reduction in GHGs is found as -6528.19 Tonne CO2eq/Year .The overall GHGs emission from MSW management of Faridabad city is found as 31375 Tonne CO2eq/Year. According to the waste composition of the MSW of Faridabad and the proximate analysis of the waste, the waste is found to have a power potential of 10 MW if the waste is properly managed and converted to energy.
