TL;DR: The study indicates that the heterogeneity of MSW and syngas purification technologies are the most relevant impediments for the current pyrolysis/gasification-based waste-to-energy WtE.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extended the 2E assessment to a 3E (energy, environment, and economy) model and applied it for the comparison of different MSW treatment technologies: (1) landfill; (2) landfill with biogas conversion to electricity; (3) incineration with energy recovery.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper employed a environmental impact assessment by LCA program to determine whether refuse-derived fuel (RDF) production and incineration can have a more positive impact on the environment than the co-incineration of municipal solid waste with coal in Hangzhou, China.

TL;DR: In this paper, three representative waste-to-energy (WtE) systems are compared using life cycle assessment (LCA): a gasification-based WtE plant in Finland, mechanical-grate incineration in France, and circulating fluidized bed (CFLB) in China, and the overall environmental performance of the gasification system is better than incineration.

TL;DR: In this article, pyrolysis and gasification of typical municipal solid waste (MSW) were investigated in a fluidized bed reactor, and the effect of the equivalence ratio (ER), reaction temperature, and moisture content on MSW conversion was studied.
