Step 2: Options Assessment
1. Technology Assessment
- Technology options screening process
- Read more about identified technologies
- Waste characterisation: more detailed analysis of waste (including composition, calorific value, etc.)
Think about:
- Financial implications on municipal budgets
- Site issues
- Legislation and regulations
- Human resources
- Market potential for technology outputs
- GHG mitigation potential of different technology options
- Water usage for technology option
