bonsai_ipcc.waste.incineration.sequence module

Sequences to determine GHG emissions from incineration.

Decision tree for CO2:
  • tier 1: default data to quantify waste generation, composition and management practice

    (requirement: incineration or open burning is not a key category)

  • tier 2a: country-specific data to quantify waste generation and composition

    default data for emission factors and waste management

  • tier 2b: country-specific data for waste generation, composition and management practice

  • tier 3: plant- or management-specific data

Decision tree for CH4 and N2O:
  • tier 1: estimate total amount of wastes incinerated or open-burned and use default emission factors

    (requirement: incineration or open burning is not a key category)

  • tier 2: country-specific data by waste type, technology and management practice

  • tier 3: plant- or management-specific data
