Determination of renewable energy yield from mixed waste material from the use of novel image analysis methods.

Highlights: [•] Two novel methods used to determine renewable energy content and yield from mixed waste materials. [•] Biogenic content of waste components measured, along with proximate and ultimate analysis. [•] Determined values accurate to within 5% of actual values. [•] Key applications include renewable energy yield prior to combustion and classification of SRF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
