Waste to energy (WTE) technologies have emerged as an alternative solution municipal solid waste management. WTE systems provide major environmental and economic benefits by converting into accessible energy, part of integrated management (ISWM) strategy. However, previous studies showed that establishing ISWM strategy based on a single type does not necessarily realize maximum benefits. Hence,...

Purpose Egypt has set plans to transform into a green economy which requires major reforms in the waste sector as one of most vital sectors crucial for this transformation. This study aims at inspecting current status Egyptian highlight policy needed. Furthermore, it assesses economic viability establishing waste-to-energy (WtE) projects under regulations that govern sector. Design/methodology/...

Previous work has focused on a series of fundamental Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) studies using representative atmospheres found in Waste-to-Energy (WtE) boilers. Those studies were done for waste tires and their major constituents, such as Styrene-Butadiene Copolymer (SBR) and Poly-Isoprene (IR). The outcome has been the elucidation of the likely mechanism responsible for initial decompo...

In the new legislation framework enacted by new member countries of the European Union (EU), the characterization of municipal solid waste (MSW) represents an important instrument for local governments and sanitation operators in setting and achieving targets for waste recycling and recovery. This paper presents the results of a study conducted in accordance with the Romanian methodology for do...

introduction: countries around the world are looking for an appropriate, stable, and affordable replacement for the natural energies. therefore, the waste is considered as an available resource to produce energy, which by controlling, its effects on the environment could be minimized. methods: to conduct this review article, all the scientific data related to the topic were gathered from scient...

Daily per capita waste generation will increase by 40% and 19%, for developing developed countries 2050, respectively. The World Bank estimates that total is going to triple in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) double South Asia (SA) 2050. This article conducts a rapid review aims demonstrate the current management scenario potential of energy world, focusing on SSA SA. Although many articles related (W...

Waste-to-energy (WtE) technologies can offer sustainable solutions for waste, which no more be reused or recycled, such as the part of municipal solid waste (MSW) that is not suitable recycling processes. This study focused on environmental consequences production electricity from incineration and gasification MSW. To this aim, standardised life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology was used. A in...
