N2 - This study seeks to assess both environmental and economic effects associated with installing photovoltaic systems within construction waste landfills in Macau by employing an effective carbon emissions calculation methodology and benefit analysis method. Beginning by outlining characteristics and challenges associated with construction waste landfills, as well as photovoltaic systems used for this application in this paper. Here, we present a detailed outline of our methodology design, outlining its principles of life cycle analysis, data collection processes and the creation of carbon emissions calculation models. Subsequently, we examine photovoltaic systems within Macau's construction waste landfills by studying system design, component selection and operational strategies as well as carbon emission data collection during their operational time period. Under life cycle carbon emissions calculations, we assess the carbon emissions generated from photovoltaic systems as well as conduct an environmental and economic benefit analysis for carbon reduction benefit analysis purposes. This research incorporates sensitivity analysis and uncertainty consideration in order to conduct an extensive benefit analysis. The research results offer strong support for sustainable photovoltaic systems within Macau waste landfills as well as insights to inform planning and policy formation for similar future projects.
