Abstract
CO2 reduction potential was investegated for district heating and cooling system using waste heat from existing solid waste incineration plants in Japan. The amount of available heat for 500 continuously operated plants was estimated using the actual amount of treatment, and the surrounding heat demand for these plants was analyzed using lkm grid level information on GIS. Then, CO2 reduction potential was calculated by monthly heat supply and demand with considering the induced CO2 emission from construction of pipe network for district heating and cooling system. As a result, CO2 reduction potential was estimated to be 0.5-2.8 million tons per year.
