abstract = {Valorization of municipal solid waste (MSW) plays a crucial role in a sustainable society
and provides an opportunity to reduce carbon emissions. The economic and social viability of the
treatment of the organic fraction of MSW (OFMSW) with a multi-scenario analysis (composting and
anaerobic digestion for renewable electricity or for biomethane injection into natural gas networks)
was studied using a Monte Carlo simulation. The cost of treating organic fraction of MSW to
neutralize financial net present value (NPV) and social NPV through greenhouse gas emissions
avoided was determined for each scenario. The costs considered were the investment and the
operating and maintenance costs. The financial benefits from the revenue of subproducts depended
on the scenario. The lowest average fee to neutralize the financial NPV was 6.38 ¿/tonne treated in
anaerobic digestion for biomethane injection into natural gas networks, therefore, it was the most
financially viable. The average social NPV calculated for biomethane injection into natural gas
networks (16.60 ¿/tonne) was higher than that obtained for renewable electricity (13.59 ¿/tonne).
According to the results, anaerobic digestion for biomethane injection into natural gas networks is
the most socially and economically viable alternative for the treatment of OFMSW.},
