Abstract
Crop residue, animal manure and MSW are selected as representative biomass waste. Greenhouse gas emissions from treatment and disposal process of biomass waste in Hebei province are estimated for the period from 2002 to 2007, using the methodologies recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Greenhouse gas emission was about 10 Mt CO2-equivalent annually. About 6% of greenhouse gas emission came from open burning of crop residue, 74% from management system of animal manure, and 20% from MSW disposal. Among all the greenhouse gas sources, landfill is the most concentrated one, and has significant potential of emission reduction.
