Overview

This analysis shows enhanced energy recovery and reduced emissions in municipal solid waste using torrefaction, indicating progress toward a circular economy.

Key Points

  • The optimized torrefaction process improved the higher heating value of municipal solid waste to 16.53 MJ/kg, aiding energy recovery.
  • Under optimal conditions, fixed carbon content increased substantially from 18.5% to 42.8%, with significant reductions in volatile matter.
  • Thermogravimetric analysis revealed enhanced thermal stability, supporting efficient energy recovery from treated municipal solid waste.
  • A global warming potential assessment indicated a 73.2% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to untreated municipal solid waste, highlighting environmental benefits.
