Waste-to-Energy: Sustainable Approaches for Emerging Economies presents the latest developments and applications for the conversion of waste into biofuels and other energy products. Divided into two parts, Section I reviews the major sources of solid waste and their management strategies in developing countries, and includes the collection, composition, segregation, and dispersal of various waste streams, as well as the generation of biogas and other value-added products. Section II examines the transformation of waste into biofuels and the management strategies required to efficiently implement waste-to-energy processes. Methods for the production of hydrogen, biomethane, biofuels, and bioenergy, as well as resource recovery are discussed in depth, and mathematical models are provided for anaerobic digestion techniques. The benefits and challenges of waste-to-energy as a waste management strategy are explored through dedicated chapters on the techno-economics, environmental and social regulation, the operation of WtE plants. The final chapter of the book presents a life cycle assessment and environmental impact analysis of the technologies and strategies discussed. Waste-to-Energy: Sustainable Approaches for Emerging Economies is a valuable reference for students and researchers interested in waste-to-energy, waste management, and biotechnology, and will be of interest to the wider environmental sciences and renewable energy communities.
