In this study, a lower heating value for automobile shredder residue incineration facilities (12 facilities) was calculated using a heat balance method, and a recoverable energy potential was calculated after calculating the effective energy output and the effective energy use according to automobile shredder residue incineration. An analysis of the calculation results showed that the effective output and the effective use had average values of 64.5% (49.8-80.2%) and 31.3% (7.1-57.5%) in an ASR incineration plant, respectively. The calculated ratio of effective use to effective output was an average value of 33.2% (3.0-57.8%). Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of effective energy used, it is necessary to make more effort to devise various measures.
