ABSTRACT
The transportation stage contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which vary according to
collection type and transportation system. The aim of this research is to identify the environmental
impact of waste transportation vehicles using various fuels by reviewing the literature in various
countries. This study also examines striking research trends and themes, critical elements, and evolution
to provide future study direction. The Bibliometric method uses research trends and in-depth content
analysis to identify the relevant and most influential articles. This study compares waste transportation
using diesel fuel, compressed natural gas, biomethane, and pneumatic collection, finding that vehicles
using diesel fuel had the highest environmental impact compared to others. Replacing diesel fueled
vehicles with CNG fueled vehicles can minimize GHG emissions. Meanwhile, seen from a renewable
electricity perspective, stationary pneumatic collection is a positive step towards more sustainable
and environmentally friendly transportation and waste management.
