Thermal Conversion of Municipal Waste Into Energy: Prospects for the Sub-Carpathia

“…This is why the waste-to-energy conversion is a feasible alternative to storage and waste can become an alternative source of energy [Tan et al 2014]. Based on long-term research, non-recyclable waste can be converted into heat, electric power or fuel using such processes as gasification, pyrolysis or methanogenesis.…”

“…As shown in Figure 3, the conversion can be done in 3 ways: by thermal processing, by biological processing and by just storing waste [Tan et al 2014]. Waste combustion and gasification systems are options for the thermal process producing electric power and heat.…”

Public concerns and behaviors towards solid waste minimization using composting in Kampar district, Malaysia

“…In Malaysia, effort for promoting waste composting is not sufficient, while public always claims that they are not given an opportunity to take part in these activities. Indeed, most of the public in Malaysia are not doing waste separation while most of the waste segregation works are done by scavenger in landfill site (Tan et al, 2013). Local authorities claimed that the public within their administrative boundary would not give full cooperation regarding to their rules and policies (Tan et al, 2013).…”
