此篇論文旨在評估小型焚化爐於小型社區使用的可能性。小型焚化爐的處理設施不僅得以幾乎完整地燃燒廢棄物，還可以利用廢棄物發電技術來產生電力。此研究以國立中山大學校園為背景，其中又以兩種方案被用來進行評估，同時，也涉及兩種不同的廢棄物數量。兩者都是可行的，但僅止於某些特定情況之下。除此之外，這類計畫除了降低中山大學電費的支出外，其為台灣所帶來的附加價值也不容小覷。筆者認為，透過從可再生能源來提高電力生產，以及降低二氧化氮排放量，此項計畫非常符合時下的可再生能源政策。另外，它也在國家對於進口能源的獨立性上有很大的貢獻。整體來說，本研究的結果可能會適用於其他地區，但其主要的是，所呈現的結果是在何種情況下達成的。

The feasibility study aims at evaluating the possibility of using small-scale solid waste treatment plant for the small-sized communities. Small-scale solid waste treatment facility not only allows to almost completely utilize the waste, but also by using waste to energy technologies it empowers electricity generation. National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU) campus is selected as a background for the feasibility study. Two scenarios are evaluated, which addresses two very different waste quantities. Both of them are feasible, but only under certain circumstances. Besides the fact that such project protects NSYSU from the electricity price increase, it brings the value to Taiwan as well. The project suits current renewable energy policy by increasing electricity’s production from renewable energy sources and lessening CO2 emissions. In addition, it also contributes to country’s independence on imported energy sources. To conclude, the results from this feasibility study may be transferable to other locations, but it is crucial to observe under which circumstances the results were achieved.
