The municipality of Trondheim in Norway is considering the implementation of a household organic waste source-separation program. The diverted organics would be anaerobically digested to produce biogas, which in turn would be used to fuel local LNG buses. Currently, household waste is delivered to the Heimdal waste incineration facility as a feedstock for provision of district heating. As the primary driver of this initiative is a reduction of climate gases, an evaluation of several scenarios is conducted using life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology.
