Estimation of Waste Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Tyre Caza, Lebanon, using SWEET
The estimation of waste sector greenhouse gas emissiones in Tyre Caza, Lebanon, was prepared by SCS Engineers under contract for the International Solid Waste Association for the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) Waste Initiative. The estimation was developed as part of expert assistance being provided to the city of Tyre the Waste Initiative since July 2019.
A Solid Waste Emissions Estimation Tool (SWEET) published by the CCAC Waste Initiative was used to investigate waste sector emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) from Tyre Caza in southern Lebanon, under multiple waste management scenarios. Publications on waste management in Lebanon, including an Integrated Waste Management Plan (IWMP) for Tyre Caza and Updated Master Plan for the closure and rehabilitation of uncontrolled dumpsites throughout Lebanon, provided data that were used in this study along with updated information provided by Lebanon’s Office of the Minister of State for Administrative Reform (OMSAR).
