T-6A2-A-1 - Waste incineration

Definition

This emission source is defined by the IPCC in TBD.

Transition Elements

This activity has the following mitigation methods modelled as transition elements:

• T-5A3-TE-6 - Increased energy recovery from waste
• T-6A1-TE-1 - Shift to recycling of solid waste
• T-6A2-A-1 - Waste incineration
• T-6A2-A-5 - Unspecified emissions from incineration and open burning of waste

Activity Model

This emission source is modelled with Incineration as:
