“…As can be seen, the GCV of plastic waste is 167% higher than the one of lignite, and in absolute values, it exhibits a GCV of 33.88 MJ/kg versus 12.68 MJ/kg of lignite. The GCV of plastic waste is in agreement with literature-reported values [34]. This value is comparable to or even higher than well-established liquid fuels; e.g., ethanol has a GCV of ~27 MJ/kg [35].…”

“…In addition, the use of waste as fuel represents a saving of traditional fossil fuels in energy-intensive industries and in the provision of heat and / or electricity to industrial, residential and other building sectors, covering part of their demand. (Gutierrez-Gomez et al, 2021). These authors estimated that the combustion of at least 67% of MSW collected in Brazil could add 3% of electrical energy to the national energy matrix.…”

“…Composto por matéria biodegradável e não-biodegradável, os RSU, ou lixo urbano, a decorrer do nível de urbanização, renda per capita e padrão de consumo de cada país, pode variar sua composição gravimétrica (Gutierrez-Gomez et al, 2021). No Brasil estima-se que são produzidos diariamente cerca de 240 mil toneladas de RSU, onde 51,4% são compostos de matéria orgânica (Batista et al, 2021).…”
