Generation of Energy from Municipal Solid Waste: Circular Economy and Sustainability Abdelkader Anouzla Editor

This book endeavors to critically assess and analyze the latent energy potential inherent within waste materials, thereby reframing the conventional perception of garbage from being solely a detrimental source of environmental pollution to being recognized as a viable and sustainable energy source. Furthermore, this book provides an extensive and meticulously curated database that serves as an invaluable resource to guide stakeholders in selecting the most appropriate and effective methodologies for waste disposal, whilst facilitating the generation of renewable energy that can significantly contribute to energy sustainability. In undertaking this comprehensive evaluation, the book highlights the transformative possibilities of waste management practices. It underscores the broader implications for environmental conservation and the advancement of renewable energy technologies in contemporary society. The text comprises 17 chapters on waste management with clean energy generation (heat, CH4, H2, diesel, petrol, methanol, ethanol, etc.) that experts in the field have suggested. Energy from trash may be recovered, which results in a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions and the creation of new recovery technologies. Lowering environmental pollution is an intelligent approach to ensure national energy security and combat the trend toward global warming.
