Anaerobic digestion (also called biomethanation) is one of the most effective ways to convert organic waste into biogas, which could then be used for heating or for power production. The capital costs of anaerobic digestion are however quite high, inhibiting its use. How can the anaerobic digesters be made less costly?
MSW Challenges
|

Evolving New Paradigms and Models for Success of MSW to Energy
Managing municipal solid waste is more difficult than management of many other types of waste, owing to the intersection of a number of diverse factors – social, governmental, logistical and technological. As a result, new perspectives, business models and paradigms might be required for the success of MSW management. What could such perspectives and paradigms be?

Devising Government Legislations and Regulations to Facilitate MSW to Energy
If there are well though-out government regulations, policies and incentives for MSW, and if these are also well implemented, managing MSW and deriving value out of it could be a lot easier. What are the legislations and policies that will drive a successful operation of waste to value?

Making Composting Easier to Practise
Composting is one of the simplest and most productive ways to derive value from municipal solid waste, especially organic waste from kitchen and gardens. In spite of this, only a small percentage of households worldwide utilize composting. What should be done in order to make composting more widespread?

Reducing Polluting Emissions from Waste Incineration
Incineration of waste is one of the methods to effectively dispose of waste, especially hazardous waste, and produce energy from it. However, incineration is a highly polluting process. How can the incineration process be made less polluting?

Devising Effective Ways to Segregate Municipal Solid Waste
One of the key challenges in MSW to energy is effective segregation of waste at source into MSW into organics, recyclables and biodegradables. What are the key technologies, processes and methodologies that could be used to ensure more effective waste segregation?
