Abstract
The article assesses opportunities for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the waste treatment sector concerning biodegradable industrial waste. Authors describe GHG emissions sources and ways of their reduction, paying the specific attention to the stages of the life cycle, where, according to the official data, the most significant GHG flows are formed. Methods of systematization and statistical generalization are applied for analysis. The specified work is based on the data from various sources, including National Reference Documents on the Best Available Techniques, statistical and scientific publications. Russian Reference Documents are known in the Eurasian Economic Union and often discussed as a possible background for the future research in the field on Best Available Techniques and resource efficiency enhancement. The main GHG emission sources during the waste generation, neutralization, utilization, recycling and storage are roughly described. Authors suggest relevant approaches to GHG emissions reduction available from the economic and environmental points of view.
