GHG Emission from Trucks During Collection of Solid Wastes: Çorlu Case Study

Year 2018, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 21 - 30, 01.12.2018

Abstract

Kerbside collection is most
common method in Turkey for solid waste collection. Çorlu has increasing
population rate due to growing industrial activities and investments.
Information used in the study such as; average waste collection amount in a
month, truck properties (volume, engine power) and travelled distance during
waste collection were obtained from Çorlu Municipality. Total fuel consumption
of trucks during collection of 1-ton waste for      1-km is between 2.12-5.47 L diesel / ton
in Çorlu. Greenhouse gas emissions for different scenarios were calculated in
this study. First, GHG emission estimation done for same volume trucks using
different fuel types, second estimation done for trucks with the same engine power
using different fuel types. GHG emissions for Çorlu were calculated using
emission coefficients for; diesel, gasoline, heavy oil, light oil, natural gas
fuels from literature sources. Maximum emission is found as 35 kg CO2-eq
/ton, in case of using heavy oil in the 3.5 m3 vehicle and minimum
emission is occurred  5,08 kg CO2-eq
while using natural gas in 13+1,5 m3 truck. Contrary to
expectations, kg CO2-eq / ton value (which is show the GHG emission
rate) is decrease while the engine power (horsepower) increases. It has been
determined that there are significant differences in GHG emissions when the
truck and/or fuel type are changed, even without changing factors such as
route, waste collection frequency and number of stops (number of containers).
