| description | The purpose of this study was to develop a CO2 emission factor for refuse plastic fuel (RPF) combustion facilities, and calculate the CO2 emissions from these facilities. The CO2 reduction from using these facilities was analyzed by comparing CO2 emission to facilities using fossil fuels. The average CO2 emission factor from RPF combustion facilities was 59.7 Mg CO2/TJ. In addition, fossil fuel and RPF use were compared using net calorific value (NCV). Domestic RPF consumption in 2011 was 240,000 Mg/yr, which was compared to fossil fuels using NCV. B-C oil use, which has the same NCV, was equal to RPF use. In contrast, bituminous and anthracite were estimated at 369,231 Mg/yr and 355,556 Mg/yr, respectively. In addition, the reduction in CO2 emissions due to the alternative fuel was analyzed. CO2 emissions were reduced by more than 350 Mg CO2/yr compared to bituminous and anthracite. We confirmed that using RPF, an alternative fuel, can reduce CO2 emissions. |
