Considering the lower heating value of each component and its humidity, an average heat of combustion (LHV) of 7930 MJ t−1 for a homogenous fuel is estimated for this MSW, and this value is then used for the estimation of technical potential on a thermal basis, as Eq. (3) indicates. The electricity potential of burning the MSW without sorting (WTE) is then calculated by considering an electrical efficiency (ηe) of 21%
