Turning Trash into Treasure: Solid Waste Powers Communities with Energy
The study looked at ways to turn solid waste into energy. They created a model that considers technology, laws, society, politics, economy, and the environment to help communities decide how to handle their waste. Depending on local needs, communities can use incineration to make steam, pyrolysis to create fuel gas, or burn waste alongside coal for energy. These methods were evaluated to see which is best.
