This information is very enlightening, i am a chemical engineering student in Zimbabwe and would like to find out more about other energy sources, as we are facing many difficulties, it would be good to know what else we have that we can use to help our economy.

Enext has developed a patented process in which from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) a solid fuel pellet is made with handling and burning characteristics (LHV app. 23 MJ/kg) similar as high bituminous coal. In The Netherlands this process and resulting product was granted a certificate and is labelled as Coal Comparable Fuel (CCF). This is a very interesting concept since this solid fuel pellet can be used in modern coal fired electricity plants unlike older existing technologies which produce Refuse Derived Fuels (RDF).

Composition of these solid fuel pellets is a mixture of dry organic waste (like paper, card-box, wood, cellulose, rubber, fabrics, etc) and plastics. Depending on the type of MSW, the biogenic part of these pellets could be around 60%, and thus by avoiding the use of coal an important amount of CO2 emission reduction is achieved. Besides the Carbon content of the pellets is about 20 % less compared to coal giving a direct lower C02 emission. No need to built expensive Waste Incinerators, but existing modern coal fired electricity plants can be used, in which these solid fuel pellets can be burned instead of coal.

I thank you very for the wonderful & informative article, I would like to know more about Municipal waste to energy . Kindly keep me posted.

One thing I would like to know is , Will this kind of project work in India, & does any advanced country successfully implemented the project & operational, If yes
please share the companies details . We are planning to start in Bangalore. Also i would like to know the cost involved in setting up 100 tons plant as pilot project.

Thanks so much. I am glad to know that you liked my article. I would be glad to help in the promotion of sustainable energy systems in Jordan. You may write to me at salman.alg[AT]gmail.com so that I can share my other articles with you.

Best wishes,
Salman

Thank you for this informative article. I am an ophthalmologist by profession, an Indian based in Jordan, middle-east. Me and my husband will be glad to receive such articles from you as we wish to have such plants in Jordan too.

I am very impressed with your article on “Waste As A Renewable Energy Source”.

My name is Chukwudi Nduba. I am from Nigeria.
I am actually working on a project/proposal for “a way to generate electricity using waste as its feedstock” because of the present situation of electricity in our country. I am looking forward to constructing a good proposal of the above mentioned project that will generate electricity for a state (for instance,Lagos state) here in Nigeria.

I humbly request you for any technical material on a best processing path for the conversion of waste to energy/electricity that will be cost effective, low capital and operating costs, which may be useful for my project/proposal. Also, what kind of waste will be the feedstock for the plant or can all the listed kinds of waste mentioned in your article be used as the feedstock for the plant.

I would also like to be on your mailing list. You may write back to me at chudynduba2002[AT]yahoo.com. Please, do mail me your mail id, so I can write you in detail.
Kindly let me know anything I can do for you from Nigeria.
Have a nice day!
