Abstract

In this Literature Review, the importance of evaluation of the Characterization of solid waste and CO2 emission from solid waste and vehicles are expressed. To find the characteristics of solid waste, a generally used sampling method is a random one and Proximate and Ultimate analysis (based on ASTM Standards) are sometimes adopted. To compute the CO2 emission of solid waste, various types of data and different methods are applicable. The effective methods used are IPCC methods, Default Methodology, Land GEM model, GHG Protocol, Mass Balance approach, and First Order Decay method. The test procedures used are RDE, NEDC, and WLTP to find the carbon potential from vehicles and the other methods handled are GPS, Land GEM model, Vehicle Simulator, MATLAB Programming, and SATURN model. These studies have suggested many effective strategies like Waste-to-Energy (WTE) to upgrade the MSW management system and Zero-emissions vehicles to turn down the fuel consumption and also identified the waste recovery and reduction potentials. Furthermore, the assessment of renewable energy sources was accomplished.
