By 2025 the per capita daily generation of solid municipal waste is expected to be 750gms. From the peak of 500gms at present. With the country already facing serious and growing challenges of climate change exacerbated by waste generation in an increasingly urban mix, waste-to-energy is an essential aspect of mitigation. Municipal solod waste typically consists of product packaging, glass, clothing, food waste, clothing and fabric, appliances, paint, batteries and such like. With developments in corrosion phenomena, flue gas control, fly ash management, and the overall beneficial use of residual waste, the waste-to-energy proposition has strong prospects.
