The global amount of solid waste has dramatically increased as a result of rapid population growth, accelerated urbanization, agricultural demand, and industrial development. The world's population is expected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030, while solid waste production will reach 2.59 billion tons. This will deteriorate the already strained environment and climate situation. Consequently, there is an urgent need for methods to recycle solid waste. Here, we review recent technologies to treat solid waste, and we assess the economic feasibility of transforming waste into energy. We focus on municipal, agricultural, and industrial waste. We found that methane captured from landfilled-municipal solid waste in Delhi could supply 8–18 million houses with electricity and generate 7140 gigawatt-hour, with a prospected potential of 31,346 and 77,748 gigawatt-hour by 2030 and 2060, respectively. Valorization of agricultural solid waste and food waste by anaerobic digestion systems could replace 61.46% of natural gas and 38.54% of coal use in the United Kingdom, and could reduce land use of 1.8 million hectares if provided as animal feeds. We also estimated a levelized cost of landfill solid and anaerobic digestion waste-to-energy technologies of $0.04/kilowatt-hour and $0.07/kilowatt-hour, with a payback time of 0.73–1.86 years and 1.17–2.37 years, respectively. Nonetheless, current landfill waste treatment methods are still inefficient, in particular for treating food waste containing over 60% water.

The aim of research was investigation of biochar effect on salinity reduction in mung bean plant. The experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design with two replications and three treatments of saline, non-saline and saline + biochar. A silty soil was used for the plant substrate while calcium chloride and sodium chloride salts were employed in order to create the salinity levels in it. The results of variance analysis associated with the studied traits showed that the simple effects of salinity and plant organs as well as the interaction of salinity×plant organs on the calcium, magnesium, chlorine, sodium, potassium, pH and electrical conductivity (EC) levels are significant at a level of 1%. Also, the results of comparing the mean interaction of salinity×organ indicated that the highest calcium content in most cases is associated with the shoots. The biochar consumption has been found to reduce the calcium adsorption at high salinity in leaves and roots and increase it in the stem and pod. Increasing the calcium chloride and sodium chloride salinities in plant organs, the concentration of potassium decreased compared to calcium and with increasing salinity levels, the concentration of all mentioned elements increased in most treatments. The results showed that EC value was found to be improved by applying biochar. According to the results, effect of organ, salinity and organ× salinity on all characteristics was significant. It has been found that the salinity resistance mechanism of this plant is the salt tolerance through the accumulation of ions in its organs. Therefore, biochar can be used in the improvement of saline soils, for the optimal use of soil resources and saline waters.
