“…Another study applied the TOPSIS technique to solve the issue of site location for landfill gas in Nigeria [45]. Mohammed et al [46] analyzed the multi-criteria evaluation method for landfill sites in Nigeria. Previous work on the selection of waste-to-energy technology in Nigeria is scarce, with TOPSIS being the most frequently used technique.…”

Slum/informal settlements are an integral part of a city, with a population projected to reach 3 billion by 2030. It is also expected that the rate of waste generation will more than triple by 2050 in the cities of low-income countries of sub-Saharan Africa. At this rate, the risk to the environment and health of inhabitants are enormous, because the current waste management practices are not guided by legislation on proper use and disposal. This paper proposes the conversion of waste to energy as a solution to this problem. The aim of this study is to apply the PROMETHEE technique with a combination weighting method to obtain the most appropriate waste-to-energy technology for the slum/informal settlements of the Greater Karu Urban area in Nigeria. The findings reveal that the gasification technology outperformed the other technologies, and the affordability of electricity supply from this technology was determined by a general survey conducted on the slum/informal settlements.

The amount of waste disposed off globally has significantly increased due to increase in population and change in consumer habits. Million tons of organic waste are disposed of globally through incineration, land applications, landfill, and other methods. Selecting appropriate places for waste landfills is a challenging task for planners, especially in states with dense populations such as Osogbo due to land scarcity, land prices, and increased solid waste generation. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the optimal suitable areas for the solid waste landfill for proper waste management in the study area. In this work, a multi-criteria decision-making approach combining GIS and the Fuzzy Logic technique for landfill suitability site evaluation was used. Six factors are involved in the selection process namely soil, drainage, land use/land cover, built-up areas, road network, and slope. Using the weighted overlay analysis tool in the GIS environment, the results of the MCDM assigned to each criterion show that five potential sites in this study were suitable for the construction of a potential landfill, of which two are located in the most suitable zone and three are located in the unsuitable zone. It was concluded that the results presented on the final aggregation maps demonstrate the significance of selecting the appropriate criteria weights for the environmental and economic set of standards.
