Integration of waste-derived alternative fuels in Israel’s transportation system – Phase B: economic analysis and life cycle assessment

This objective of this paper is to provide an initial economic analysis for the production of transportation fuels by anaerobic digestion of biomass and gasification of general waste (including synthetic waste materials). Based on phase A of this study, the analysis details the maximum amount of alternative fuels which could be produced from waste in Israel. The output of this phase is an initial estimation of the projected production cost (in terms of NIS per liter of cubic meter) of fuel produced by either of the aforementioned technologies.
