Biogenic Carbon in Danish Combustible Waste

Full-scale measurement of the carbon content of flue gas from waste incineration plants

Funded project: ForskEL

The carbon content in non-homogenous flammable waste cannot be directly determined in laboratories on the basis of a small waste sample. The project will make full-scale measurement of the carbon content of flue gas from waste incineration plants. The carbon will subsequently be characterised by using the carbon-14 method.
