Waste to Energy

Abstract

In present days the economic development with rapid urbanization comes with large volume of MSW and energy demand. In the developing cities like Gazipur the problem is more severe. Hence, the proper management system of these wastes and innovating renewable energy can solve the problems. The proper municipal solid waste management (MSWM) system can get us out of the problems. In the city like Gazipur and Narayanganj, the present MSWM system is not enough to waste collection and disposal. The city corporation is collecting those wastes and landfilling in an area which is affecting environment and public health for a long time. In our research we aimed to investigate present condition of MSWM system and its possible impact in Bangladesh. Further, we directed to analyze the changes needed on current MSWM system to be improved and to use the waste as resources to produce energy by available waste to energy technologies. Although we named the title of our thesis is modern solution of waste and energy in Bangladesh we have selected the Gazipur city corporation area as our study area. Our study’s assessment and analysis we have collected from several literatures from different sources.
