Abstract
The problem of unhygienic disposal of municipal solid waste in open damping yards could be reduced to some extent by its useful utilization in converting it to energy. The non sanitary land filling practice has resulted in severe environment deterioration in respect of ground water contamination, air pollution leading to generation of green house gases and pathogens into the atmosphere. Hence, a holistic approach is required in order to equip the cities with the tools and framework condition to cope with up the incessantly increasing amounts of solid waste. Through initiatives have been taken up in various parts of the country, except the bio-compositing route, wide scale commercial success of energy recovery through the other technological routes is still in its initial stages. In this paper authors review municipal solid waste to convert it into energy through various technological interventions like composting, anaerobic digestion or bio-methanation, gasification and combustion. The authors also discuss risk and problem with waste to energy combustion, technological challenges and economical feasibility. Hence waste-to-energy provides the fourth "R" in a comprehensive solid waste management program reduction, reuse, recycling, and energy recovery.
