As the world’s population continues to grow, so does the amount of waste generated. In 2016, the world generated 2.01 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste, and this figure is expected to increase to 3.4 billion tonnes by 2050. This waste not only poses a threat to the environment but also presents an opportunity to generate renewable energy through sustainable waste-to-energy conversion.
Waste-to-energy conversion is the process of converting waste materials into usable forms of energy, such as electricity, heat, or fuel. This process not only reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills but also provides a sustainable source of energy.
