Analyzing Faecal Sludge Treatment Plants Life Cycle Carbon Footprint – A case of Zambia

Abstract

- Biogas technology has been widely used as an economical technology to manage and reduce carbon emissions of Faecal Sludge (FS) from pit latrines in developing countries. However, the carbon footprint of using this technology in faecal sludge treatment is not clearly quantified. This study aimed to close this gap by developing an Integrated Life-Cycle Carbon-Footprint Analysis (ILCCA) model for faecal sludge treatment plants (FSTPs) in developing countries, taking Zambia as
