the major purpose of this study was to examine the advantages and implications of biogastechnology in the agriculture sector. biogas is one of many biomass energy sources, which includeanything that was once alive and that can generate energy (except for fossil fuels, which are notrenewable). to talk of biogas is to talk of agriculture, since biogas generation starts withagricultural waste prod...

Biogas energy has got importance in the field of energy engineering because of its attractive features. Biogas is produced from different types of waste materials by the process of Anaerobic Digestion. This paper gives the insight of Anaerobic Digestion process and different pretreatment methods used in various experimental research works. Flower waste is also a potential source of biogas energ...

Waste-to-energy (WtE) facilities have been established worldwide as a sustainable method for the disposal of residual waste. In the present study the following competing WtE systems were compared: (1) municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs) with energy recovery; (2) co-incineration of waste in old lignite or coal-fired power plants; (3) substitute [refuse-derived fuel (RDF)] incinerators wit...

Waste-to-Energy (WTE) is a viable option for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management and a renewable energy source. MSW is a chronic problem in Saudi Arabia and more specifically in Saudi Urban areas. The MSW practices in KSA are simply done by collecting the waste and dumping it in open landfill sites. KSA is considering WTE as a potential renewable energy source that can contribute to electric...

Incineration of municipal solid waste is a debated waste management technology. In some countries it is the main waste management option whereas in other countries it has been disregarded. The main discussion point on waste incineration is the release of air emissions from the combustion of the waste, but also the energy recovery efficiency has a large importance. The historical development of ...

Previous studies on waste incineration as part of the energy system show that waste management and energy supply are highly dependent on each other, and that the preconditions for the energy system setup affects the avoided emissions and thereby even sometimes the total outcome of an environmental assessment. However, it has not been previously shown explicitly which key parameters are most cru...

Storing municipal solid waste (MSW) in landfills is the oldest and still the primary waste management strategy in many countries. Russia is the third largest methane (CH4) emitter country after USA and China, representing 5% of total global CH4 emissions from waste landfilling. Due to high economical growth, the amount of waste generated in Russia has risen sharply over the last ten years. Howe...

Waste disposal is one of the pressing problems.Millions of tons of municipal solid waste, hazardous/industrial wastes and agricultural wastes are handled daily throughout municipal areas. Each municipality confronts great challenges in disposing of its wastes in an efficient, cost effective and environmentally safe manner.Landfills in metropolitan areas are becoming full, and new ones are more ...
