Abstract

This study was carried out to estimate greenhouse gas reduction potentials under treatment methods of combustible wastes excavated from closed landfill. The treatment methods of solid wastes were landfilling, incineration, and production of solid recovery fuel. The greenhouse gas reduction potentials were calculated using the default emission factor presented by IPCC G/L method of IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). The composition of excavated waste represented that screened soil was the highest (65.96%), followed by vinyl/plastic (19.18%). This means its own component is similar to the other excavated waste from unsanitary landfill sites. Additionally, its bulk density was 0.74 $t/m^3$. In case of landfilling of excavated waste, greenhouse gas emission quantity was 60,542 $tCO_2$. In case of incineration of excavated waste, greenhouse gas emission quantity was 9,933 $tCO_2$. However, solid recovery fuel from excavated waste reduced 33,738 $tCO_2$ of the greenhouse gas emission quantity. Therefore, solid recovery fuel production is helpful to reduce of greenhouse gas emission.

본 연구는 사용종료매립지 정비를 위한 폐기물 처리과정에서 가연성폐기물의 처리 방법별 온실가스 발생량을 IPCC에서 제시하고 있는 기본배출계수(default emission factor)를 활용하여 산정하고 그 결과 비교를 통해 온실가스 감축량을 산정하였다. 대상 매립지로부터 굴착한 폐기물의 성상을 조사한 결과 토사류가 64.96%로 가장 많은 비율을 차지하고 있었으며, 다음으로 비닐/플라스틱류가 19.18%의 비율을 차지하고 있어 전체 폐기물 중 토사류의 비율이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다. 음식물류, 목초류, 종이류와 같이 생분해가 용이한 폐기물이 거의 발견되지 않은 점 등이 일반적인 비위생매립지의 굴착폐기물과 성상이 유사하였다. 전체 폐기물의 겉보기 밀도는 평균 $0.74t/m^3$으로 확인되었다. 폐기물을 매립으로 처리하는 경우 약 60,542 $tCO_2$, 소각을 통해 폐기물 처리 시 9,933 $tCO_2$의 온실가스가 배출되며 폐기물 고형연료 생산 시에는 33,738 $tCO_2$의 온실가스가 감축되는 것으로 산정되어 폐기물 고형연료 생산이 온실가스 감축에 도움이 되는 것으로 확인되었다.
