“…Landfill operation requires large spaces and the acceptance of potential hygiene and odor issues . The use of IWMF comes with a high expectation of toxic products, specifically dioxin . Anaerobic digestion, as an old technique, can effectively treat certain amounts of OSW through conversion of waste from soluble organic acids to biogas, to reduce the environmental and public health impacts of OSWs.…”

A comprehensive review of anaerobic digestion of organic solid wastes in relation to microbial community and enhancement process

Organic solid wastes (OSWs) should be regarded as valuable resources rather than dead-end landfill waste that causes public health and odor concerns. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an ideal approach for managing organic solid waste issues and involves using a group of anaerobic microorganisms to transform OSWs into useful products. In this review, over 100 publications related to AD of OSWs have been compiled, discussed, and analyzed. A comprehensive analysis of the environmental and safety impacts of AD, its key environmental factors, co-digestion, and pretreatment, as well as the AD of OSWs by various anaerobic microbes uncovered by high throughput sequencing-based approaches, is presented. The purpose of this review is to provide an outline of the current knowledge of AD processes from a multi-angle perspective. A comprehensive understanding of AD of OSWs and genome-enabled biology development could be helpful for providing up-to-date knowledge of AD, developing it, overcoming its drawbacks and, ultimately, improving global waste control for more efficient environmental management. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

“…The selection of the assessment criteria and subcriteria was in light of relevant literature [38,70]. The assessment was based on the energy recovery figures calculated using Equations (8)- (11), along with the costs of using WtE technologies and various qualitative criteria, which were taken from published studies [14,16,64,[71][72][73]. A scale of 0-100 was used, with 0 meaning that the technology is not recommended and 100 being the highest score (Figure 9).…”

Mitigating climate change to limit the global temperature increase (relative to pre-industrial temperatures) to 2 °C is receiving considerable attention around the world. Here, historical and future carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions from municipal solid waste (MSW) in Bahrain were calculated using the revised Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 1996 and IPCC 2006 methods. The extent to which waste-to-energy (WtE) technologies can contribute to climate change mitigation was assessed by performing a multicriteria analysis. The results indicated that CO2e emissions from MSW in Bahrain have been increasing since the Askar landfill was constructed in 1986. Emission recalculations indicated that CO2e emissions from MSW contribute 6.2% of total emissions in Bahrain rather than the 11.6% reported in the second national communication. Methane emissions from MSW in 2030 are predicted to be 22–63 Gg. The WtE technologies anaerobic digestion and landfill gas recovery gave the best and gasification the worst multicriteria analysis model results. A database of WtE plants around the world should be compiled to allow decisions around the world to be based on best practices. The potential for maximizing energy recovery and decreasing costs needs to be investigated to allow WtE plants to compete better with renewable and nonrenewable energy sources.

“…Likewise, Safar et al [11] evaluated the feasibility of generating electricity from MSW in Pakistan, identifying the power generation potential both from biological and thermal treatments. Xin-Gang et al [12] analyzed political, economic, social and technological factors of the MSW incineration industry in China, finding that plants of this type have good profitability and environmental benefits. In the same sense, Teixeira et al [13] analyzed the evolution of MSW management in Portugal and the policies implemented for different thermal treatment technologies.…”

The purpose of this study is to determine the financial feasibility of electricity production projects in Colombia using thermal treatment technologies for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), by assessing the generation potential, the costs associated with investment, operation and maintenance of infrastructure, and the environmental impacts in terms of CO2 emissions. The study is developed for three capital cities that reflect different conditions of production and characteristics of the MSW, which are: Bogotá D.C., Cartagena and Manizales. MSW production volumes were determined from information reported by public sanitation service providers, while their lower calorific value was estimated from a predictive model referenced in the literature. The results of the study indicate that the development of these technologies, in the three cities mentioned, would allow to contribute 2.309 GWh/year, corresponding to approximately 3,3% of the electricity demand in Colombia; likewise, they would reduce CO2 emissions by more than 3 million tons per year, compared to the emissions generated by the final disposal of waste in sanitary landfills. The plant located in the city of Bogota would have the best financial performance, with an internal rate of return of 7,1%, while the infrastructure located in the cities of Cartagena and Manizales would not have an interesting financial performance; under the assumptions raised in the study.
