Converting Municipal Solid Waste into Electrical Energy: A Renewable Solution in Bangladesh

Abstract

In this modern era of technological advancement, the demand for electricity is raising day by day. To cope with the increasing demand for electricity the demand for generation is also raising in the same manner. As the traditional power generation resources are overpriced and most of the resources need to be imported, it is a notable challenge for developing countries like Bangladesh to generate electricity at a low cost. For this reason, it is required to find a noble alternative way of energy generation to fulfill the population demand which is more environment friendly, as well as cost-efficient. Among the energy resources, Waste to Electrical Energy (WTEE) has a bright future in Bangladesh (as these wastes locked a bulk amount of energy). This paper mainly focuses on Electricity generation using Municipal solid waste (MSW) via the incineration process and also a possible solution to avoid the drawbacks of the traditional power generation technique. Enough electricity could be generated from the waste throughout the process, aiding in waste management and helping to meet Bangladesh's yearly power requirements.
