Contributions to Emission Reduction from Landfills and Incinerators

The emission reduction potential of waste incinerators lies primarily in replacing high-emission treatment methods and recovering energy. Compared to landfilling, incineration avoids the generation of potent greenhouse gases such as methane (GWP of 25), while simultaneously reducing indirect emissions by replacing fossil fuels with electricity generation.

The relative carbon emissions from waste incineration are lower than those from landfilling, and projects with an annual processing capacity of 18 million tons can avoid methane emissions equivalent to tens of thousands of tons of carbon dioxide.

As a small-scale device, low-temperature magnetic pyrolysis waste treatment equipment has carbon emissions 15-20 times lower than high-temperature oil-fired waste incinerators. Therefore, China's new Fireprint pyrolysis technology can completely replace older high-temperature incinerators.
