Waste To Energy- Current Practices And Potential In India
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 0
Abstract
Solid waste generated at domestic level is the single largest component of all wastes generated in our country. A number of research studies have shown that somewhere 300 to 600 gm of solid waste is generated per person per day in our country. Eventually, Municipalities everywhere face the problems of waste collection, processing and disposal or treatment of voluminous solid waste produced by the cities. Moreover, the rains and humidity on the garbage promotes the bacterial multiplication and enhances the spread of infectious diseases. However, due to their rich organic contents, the solid waste can be a good resource to produce manure & energy. It has been estimated that about 70 MW equivalent power could be generated from urban & municipal waste alone. This potential is likely to increase further with our economic growth. The present study includes the current practices of waste to energy in various cities of India. Also challenges and suggestive measures are presented for these cities in this field to achieve sustainability.
