The IGES GHG Calculator Third Edition Chinese User Manual guides users in estimating greenhouse gas emissions from municipal solid waste management in China.
This manual introduces the IGES GHG Calculator, a life‑cycle based tool for quantifying greenhouse gas emissions from all municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment options in China. It explains the purpose, scope, and the ten electronic spreadsheets that make up the calculator, including transport, landfill, composting, anaerobic digestion, MBT, recycling, incineration and open‑burning modules.
The guide provides step‑by‑step instructions for entering data, selecting appropriate default values, and interpreting the results shown on the home page. It also notes limitations, such as the omission of black‑carbon emissions from open burning, and points users to additional tools for more detailed analyses. This manual is written in Chinese.
