Abstract:In July 2019, Shanghai took the lead in implementing garbage classification. The classification and treatment of food waste is a serious problem in garbage sorting. At the garbage sorting station in community, solid-liquid separation for the food waste by the disposer is a pilot measure to achieve the food waste source reduction. In order to further compare the carbon emissions between two different modes, namely, traditional mixed garbage treatment mode and the food waste in-situ reduction treatment mode, 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, developed by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and life cycle method were used to perform the corresponding assessment and analysis on the data collected from the one-year investigation of pilot communities located in Ganquan Street, Putuo District, Shanghai, with 2 365 households. The results showed that, compared with the traditional mixed garbage treatment mode, the food waste in-situ reduction treatment mode could generate 7.8 kWh more electricity, reduce the solid transportation volume by 0.3 t and the net carbon emissions by 1.4×10?2 t CO2 when treating 1t raw garbage. According to Shanghai’s daily garbage production of 2.1×104 t, it could generate 1.64×105 kWh more electricity per day, reduce the solid transportation volume by 6 300 t per day and the net carbon emissions by 294 t CO2 per day. The food waste in-situ reduction treatment mode based on solid-liquid separation played an important role in reducing the carbon emissions of domestic garbage treatment and disposal. And the research results would provide necessary data support for the classification and treatment of garbage in China. Key words:garbage classification/ food waste source reduction/ solid-liquid separation/ full chain carbon footprint.
