Waste generation and management are major issues confronting urban, small, and isolated communities in Iceland. Combined heat and power (CHP) gasification system provides the opportunity to convert waste wood to syngas, which can then be combusted to generate electricity and heat, thereby eliminating the need for landfilling or incineration. The study evaluates, for the first time, the life cycle GHG emissions and other environmental impacts of syngas production and energy generation from waste wood in comparison with incineration and landfill systems in the Vestmannaeyjar region in Iceland, using process life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. Using a functional unit of 1 kg of waste wood treatment, the CML 2001 and CED methods were appli...
