Comparative analysis of existing waste-to-energy reference plants for municipal solid waste

This study is a comparative analysis of thermal conversion technology options through data evaluation and assessment of reference plants that process municipal solid waste (MSW). A combined extensive literature review and multicriteria analysis was applied to determine the optimal Waste-to-Energy (W...
