The environmental and energy performances of the Italian municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) system was investigated by a life cycle assessment approach. On average the 39 MSWIs operating in Italy in 2018 treated about 6,000,000 Mg of residual municipal solid waste (RMSW) recovering on average from 448 kWh Mg⁻¹ RMSW to 762 kWh Mg⁻¹ RMSW of electricity and from 732 kWh Mg⁻¹ RMSW to 1102 kWh Mg⁻¹ RMSW of heat. The average quantity of CO₂eq Mg⁻¹ RMSW emitted ranged from about 800 up to about 1000 depending on the size and on the energy recovery scheme of the facility. Avoided impacts (i.e., negative values) were detected for the kg PM_2,5eq Mg⁻¹ RMSW and for human health (disability-adjusted life year Mg⁻¹ RMSW). The determination of the hybrid primary energy index (MJ Mg⁻¹ RMSW) indicated that mainly large size facilities and those operating according to a power and heat energy recovery scheme are effectively able to replace other primary energies by the exploitation of the lower heating values of the RMSW.

通过生命周期评估方法研究了意大利城市固体废物焚烧 (MSWI) 系统的环境和能源性能。2018 年在意大利运营的 39 家 MSWI 平均处理了约 6,000,000 Mg 的残余城市固体废物 (RMSW)，平均回收的电力从 448 kWh Mg ^-1 RMSW 到 762 kWh Mg ^-1 RMSW，从 732 kWh Mg ^-1 RMSW 到1102 kWh Mg ^-1 RMSW 热量。根据设施的规模和能量回收方案， CO ₂ eq Mg ^-1 RMSW 的平均排放量在大约 800 到大约 1000 之间。_{检测到 kg PM 2,5eq} Mg的避免影响（即负值）^-1 RMSW 和人类健康（残疾调整生命年 Mg ^-1 RMSW）。混合一次能源指数（MJ Mg ^-1 RMSW）的确定表明，主要是大型设施以及根据电力和热能回收方案运行的设施能够通过利用较低的热值来有效地替代其他一次能源。 RMSW。
