End of Life of Solid Recovered Fuels: Could the Gasification of Waste Compete with Its Incineration, Answer by Techno-Economic and Environmental Analysis for the French Case
Short Introductive summary
Considering the future context of uncertainty on price and supply of gas and electricity from renewables, as well as the urgent need to reduce the global emissions of fossil greenhouse gases, finding safe and steady replacement sources of energy to fossil ones has become a paramount goal of modern society. Therefore, it might become environmentally and economically desirable to change the end of life in landfills of Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) in order to extend its valorization to the production of more electricity or Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG). Different scenarios of SRF valorization involving a first step of gasification to allow more flexibility on the final utility production (heat, electricity, SNG) were modelled and compared to the base case of incineration.
