Fig. 1. Waste from farms, gardens, industries and municipalities can be utilised to obtain petroleum substitutes, heat and electricity.


Lack of skills and labour for plant management restrains market growth


A number of new and emerging technologies are able to produce energy from waste, which could be broadly classified as based on the nature of conversion.


Una serie de novedosas tecnologías emergentes producen energía a partir de residuos, lo que podríamos definir ampliamente como la naturaleza básica de la conversión.


Eine Reihe neuer Technologien sind in der Lage, Strom aus Abfällen zu erzeugen und können daher als eine natürliche Umwandlung bezeichnet werden.

he intensifying quest for alternatives to fossil fuels and the need to bridge the energy demand and supply gap has opened up new avenues for the waste to energy plant market.


Te escalating threat from farming and municipal waste poses serious environment problems. As fossil fuel reserves are fast depleting, there is a pressing need to step up the tempo of research to find alternative methodologies and technologies. Waste from farms, gardens, industries and municipalities can be utilised to obtain petroleum substitutes, heat and electricity. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan’s Key


Opportunities in Waste to Energy Plant Market research finds that there are a number of new and emerging technologies that are able to produce energy from waste, which could be broadly classified based on the nature of conversion. Te two main groups are thermal technologies and


non-thermal technologies. “Hydro-photosynthetic and thermo-chemical transfer processes can help capture carbon dioxide gas emitted by industries to convert into usable synthetic petroleum that has high calorific value,” said Technical Insights Senior Research Analyst Avinash Iyer. “Besides limiting the need for traditional fuels the technology helps in lowering the total energy costs and cutting greenhouse gases emissions.” Te European Union (EU) had issued a


Waste Incineration Directive (2000/76/EC) in December 2000. Te directive lays down standards for EU members for the incineration of municipal solid waste. It is aimed at minimising the negative impacts on the environment and human health resulting from pollutants in air, soil, surface and ground water from the incineration and co-incineration of waste. Te regulation has provided an impetus for EU
