Step 1: Construction the existing waste processing capacity curve (WPCC)
Step 2: Set a target of carbon emission reduction and reduction of waste to landfill
Step 3: Shift a part (portion of waste still sent for landfilling) of the WPCC which represents landfill
carbon emission to the new carbon emission target (the line is arrange to be below the target, working
from the target to the origin)
Step 4: Shift the portion of existing WTE curve to the new curve (beginning from the end of the landfill
curve)
Step 5: Extend the WTE curve so that it touches the x-axis, the extended portion of the curve represent
additional WTE strategies to be implemented.
Step 6: Maintain the “No emission strategies” curve
Step 7: Extend the “No emission strategies” curve to the WTE curve, the extended portion of the curve
represent additional “No emission strategies” to be implemented.
