Overview

This review analyzes waste-to-energy technologies for energy recovery in municipal solid waste, suggesting a sustainable management approach.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate thermochemical waste-to-energy technologies for managing municipal solid waste sustainably.
  • Reviewed thermochemical techniques: incineration, pyrolysis, gasification, hydrothermal carbonization.
  • Analyzed energy recovery efficiencies and greenhouse gas reductions.
  • Considered limitations like feedstock variability and emission controls.
  • Thermochemical technologies show higher energy recovery than traditional landfilling.
  • Potential for significant greenhouse gas reduction compared to conventional waste disposal.
  • Integration with circular economy principles enhances the feasibility of these technologies.
