Modelled GHG emissions from MSW management in the EU (excluding Cyprus) plus Norway and Switzerland - business-as-usual scenario
European data
Metadata
-
Methodology:
-
Raw data on past and forecasted generation and treatment waste quantitites are simulated in a model in order to produce the corresponding greenhouse gas emissions for each country and for each treatment option. The direct emissions are the ones directly emitted by waste management activities while avoided emissions refer to avoided production of primary energy or materials which are avoided because of recycling or energy recovery of MSW.

Additional information
GHG emissions before 1995 are calculated based on backcasted waste data. GHG emissions after 2008 are projected.
