Characterization of Greenhouse Gases Emissions from Urban Solid Waste in Baja California: A Proposal to Incorporate Technical Input into Decision-Making

This study details estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from urban solid waste in Baja California using the IPCC 1996 method. Calculations showed an increase of 0.604 Gg/year for the period 1990-2010. The forecast for emissions predicts a continuous increase for the next 35 years. Seven mitig...

description This study details estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from urban solid waste in Baja California using the IPCC 1996 method. Calculations showed an increase of 0.604 Gg/year for the period 1990-2010. The forecast for emissions predicts a continuous increase for the next 35 years. Seven mitigation scenarios were developed: 1) 30 percent emission reduction, 2) biodigester, 3) a comprehensive option, 4) biowindows, 5) composting, 6) vermicomposting, and 7) biocover. Results from scenario building showed that it is possible to design actions or even combine strategies, with the most effective being those including social components and technological options. Este estudio detalla la estimación de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) generados por desechos sólidos urbanos en Baja California usando el método PICC 1996. Los resultados muestran un aumento de 0.604 Gg/año en el período 1990-2010. La proyección de emisiones exhibe un aumento continuo para los siguientes 35 años. Fueron construidos siete escenarios de reducción: 1) 30 por ciento de disminución, 2) biodigestor, 3) una opción integral, 4) bioventanas, 5) compostaje, 6) vermicompostaje, y 7) biocubierta. Los resultados revelaron que es posible planear medidas o combinar estrategias inclusive, identificando como mejores los escenarios que incluyen aspectos sociales y opciones tecnológicas.
