This work assesses the environmental impact of a municipal solid waste incinerator with energy recovery situated in Forlì-Cesena province (Emilia-Romagna region, Italy). The methodology used is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This plant, opened in 2008, is able to submit 120000 t/year of waste. It uses dry flue gas abatement equipment, composed of a couple of fabric filters and lime and activated carbon spraying. It also includes a cogeneration plant, i.e. it simultaneously generates heat and power by a heat engine. As the plant tries to produce as few residues as possible, and it recovers a significant amount of energy, it already applies the best technologies available in waste treatment. This is why this study focuses mainly on the fate of the solid residues produced during incineration.
