Organic Waste Resource Gasification: Current Status and Perspectives

Korea consumes a large amount of energy. is vulnerable to energy security due its high dependence on imports. The waste generated in South increasing every year. Recycling accounted for the highest proportion disposal methods at 86.6%, but this was calculated based brought into recycling facilities. In fact, amounts are landfilled or incinerated. Landfilling and incineration causes various environmental pollution problems. We need innovative practical technologies that convert have less impact environment. Waste gasification technology currently attracting attention because it emits pollutants can produce using as raw material. review, we briefly summarized principles characteristics process, discussed current status limitations process equipment Japan overseas, direction should be taken from technical institutional aspects.
