Amani Life cycle 2018 Segepub The LCA was applied in evaluating waste
Maalouf assessment Journal management alternatives towards defining optimal
and for solid integrated systems. The highest environmental
Mutasem waste impacts were associated with scenarios that
El-Fadel manageme include landfilling with minimal material and
nt in energy recovery. Environmental benefits can be
Lebanon: achieved under scenarios that maximize recycling
Economic and composting whereby cost savings in emissions
implication reached up to 98%. Incineration with energy
s of carbon recovery reduced equivalent emissions most at a
credit varying cost of −70% to +93% depending on the
selected technology and the value of carbon credit.
Despite the decrease in emissions, increased
operational and investment costs favor alternatives
that consider maximizing recycling and
composting with residual landfilling when land is
available. The sensitivity analysis suggested that
greater savings in emissions can be achieved with
improved landfill gas collection efficiency,
application of produced compost, and energy
recovery during incineration. Finally, the break
even analysis showed that maximizing material
recovery and landfilling remains profitable under
the entire range of carbon credit (0.5–50
US$/MTCO2E). While the results provide
guidelines for policy-planning and decision-
makers on the economic viability of investment in
carbon credit, potential changes in costs due to the
dynamics of economy of scale and other
externalities should be considered in the economic
analysis.
Juan- Increasing 2018 Energies The present techno-economic analysis has shown
Rodrigo Profits in (from that profitability of food waste conversion to bulk
Bastidas- Food Waste MDPI) chemicals, e.g., lactic acid or butyric acid, can be
Oyanedel Biorefinery increased 5 to 16 times when compared to the base
and Jens - A Techno- scenario, i.e., production of methane (sold to the
Ejbye Economic grid). From the discussed scenarios, the highest
Schm Analysis profit is obtained by dark fermentation with
separation and purification of butyric acid, 296
USD/t_VS (47 USD/t_foodwaste). From the return
on investment (ROI) and payback time, the best
scenario is the production of polylactic acid, with
98% ROI, and 7.8 years payback time. Production
of butyric acid ROI and payback time was 74%
and 9.1 years. From these profit, ROI, and payback
time perspectives, the present techno-economic
analysis suggests a change in focus from
biogas/biohydrogen into butyric acid and
polylactic acid production from food waste. These
results suggest that industry may refocus effort on
bulk chemicals, e.g., butyric acid and/or polylactic
acid, rather than only focusing on biofuels,
as H2 and CH4.

George Market 2017 Resources The production of a waste-based agricultural input
K. Feasibility (from such as a faecal sludge and municipal solid waste-
Danso, of Faecal MDPI) based (FSM) compost can significantly benefit
Miriam Sludge and Uganda’s economy. Demand for such a product is
Otoo, Municipal not guaranteed even among end-users such as
William Solid smallholder farmers with limited alternatives. This
Ekere, Waste- study applied choice experiment to estimate
Stanley Based farmers’ WTP for FSM compost and selected
Ddungu Compost as product attributes including certification, nitrate
and Measured fortification and pelletization. Results indicate that
Ganesha by Farmers’ farmers are willing to pay for certified and
Maduran Willingness pelletized compost, but compensation may be
gi -to-Pay for required for them to use fortified compost. The
Product expressed WTP for certified compost is higher than
Attributes: the cost of producing the attributes. Conversely,
Evidence the costs of producing the other two attributes are
from higher than the WTP estimates. While there is the
Kampala, need to develop a product to target farmers who
Uganda are interested in fortified compost, we suggest that
future FSM compost producers focus on a
‘certified and pelletized’ FSM product as this
product type has the highest production cost–WTP
differential and for which future businesses can
capture the highest percentage of the consumer
surplus. Additionally, given that the cost of
providing a pelletized FSM compost exceeds the
WTP, the surplus of providing the certification
attribute can buffer the negative production cost–
WTP differential.
