Effectiveness of Waste to Energy Technologies for Municipal Solid Waste Management in Urban India

Abstract

India's energy consumption is quickly growing day by day, and it is becoming increasingly challenging to meet the enormous demand while still pursuing sustainable goals. In addition to this, the garbage dumps outside of the cities are accumulating like a mountain. Reducing trash and finding creative ways to use garbage produced by humans are urgently needed in this circumstance. The waste and rubbish that are solid in form may be put to different uses. The best approach is to turn the garbage into energy. This method is now being used to produce electricity from solid waste in various nations. Urbanization, which may be regarded as a quick multiplier in countries like India, has also led to the production of more and more trash. Most of the trash or other waste is deposited in bodies of water or land, which pollutes the land, air, and water. It is crucial to properly handle this waste and utilize it to its full potential.
