TL;DR: A simplified model of carbon flows is presented for the waste management system and the surrounding industries, represented by the pulp and paper manufacturing industry, the forestry industry and the energy industry, showing that criteria for assigning global warming contributions are partly linked to the system boundary conditions.

Municipal solid waste conversion to transportation fuels: a life-cycle estimation of global warming potential and energy consumption
Phillip N. Pressley,Tarek N. Aziz,Joseph F. DeCarolis,Morton A. Barlaz,Feng He,Fanxing Li,Anders Damgaard +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the cumulative energy demand and global warming potential associated with the conversion of U.S. municipal solid waste (MSW) to liquid transportation fuels via gasification and Fischer-Tropsch (FT).
The hierarchy of resource use for a sustainable circular economy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a general review of the shortcomings in a circular economy and in the waste hierarchy and argue that the theoretical possibility of complete recycling rests on a premise that is now at odds with a sustainable development.
Effect of compost application on the dynamics of carbon in a nectarine orchard ecosystem.
Elena Baldi,Luciano Cavani,Alja Margon,Maurizio Quartieri,Giovambattista Sorrenti,Claudio Marzadori,Moreno Toselli +6 more
TL;DR: Compost application was found to be a win-win strategy to increase C storage in soil and, at the same time, to promote plant growth and yield to levels similar to those obtained with mineral fertilization.
Energy Recovery from Waste Incineration-The Importance of Technology Data and System Boundaries on CO2 Emissions
Ola Eriksson,Göran Finnveden +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that waste management and energy supply are highly dependent on each other, and that the preconditions for the energy system are the same as those for waste incineration.
Trade-off between carbon reduction benefits and ecological costs of biomass-based power plants with carbon capture and storage (CCS) in China
TL;DR: In this paper, a typical BioCCS project with the CCS of Spirulina cultivation in Inner Mongolia of China was investigated, and the trade-offs between the carbon reduction benefits and ecological performance of adding CCS to the power plant were observed.

The potential role of compost in reducing greenhouse gases.
Enzo Favoino,Dominic Hogg +1 more
TL;DR: Key issues include the replacement of fertilizers, reduction of N2O emissions, and peat replacement, which could contribute significantly to constraining growth in greenhouse gas emissions, while also contributing to improvements in soil quality in some areas.

A life cycle assessment of biomass cofiring in a coal-fired power plant
M.K. Mann,P. Spath +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a life cycle assessment was conducted on a coal-fired power system that co-fires wood residue, and it was found that cofiring significantly reduced the environmental footprint of the average coal fired power plant.
