Refuse-derived fuels(RDF) production plants in Korea are assessed for strategic environmental
analysis and environment-friendly sustainable management. Some of pollutants in plants exhaust gas
were over the Korean standard for waste incineration except carbon mono-oxide. Dioxins and Furans
were decected from dry process in RDF plant and were increased by treatment quantities of input
MSW. That results support demands of standard for dioxins and furans. The impact of set up
pollutants standard for RDF plant exhaust gas is not critical technically and economically. After
revising of Korean RDF quality criteria, government should compose monitoring system for proper
operation and management of RDF production plnats. These results could be a reference to drive 19
projects in planning and operating RDF plants by rural and central governments, and also give us
fundamental information to construct preliminary pollutants standards for RDF production plants in
Korea.
