Some cities may have transfer stations for proper handling, sorting and management of collected waste. This sheet would thus support the quantification of emissions from the transfer stations. Users are asked to provide the total amount of waste handled at the transfer station (note that not all the waste collected by the city may reach the transfer station). In addition, data should provide on utilisation fossil fuel and grid electricity for operational activities. In the absence of such data, default values provided by the developer can be utilised. The estimation method of emissions is presented in Box 1. The results will be displayed in the same sheet in which emissions have been calculated per gas, taking into account life cycle phases. All default values and emission factors used in this calculation are listed in Table 1. The structure of the page is shown in Figure 9. Figure 9: Print screen view of transportation sheet 2.3 Selection of technologies for treating the separated waste fractions Some organic waste and/or recyclables are separated at the household level or at material recovery facilities. The separated organic waste can be treated using composting and AD technologies while the separated different types of recyclables can be recycled for recovery of materials. In this tool, separate sheets have been designed for the above technologies to quantify the emissions from separated organic waste and recyclables. Users should provide data in those individual sheets if they have chosen any of those technologies in BAU or intended scenarios. The detailed specifications of composting, AD and recycling sheets are described in the sections below.
