Wastes and Residues

Also indexed as: Agricultural Waste : Municipal Solid Waste : Organic Waste Conversion

Organic wastes are produced as a result of a wide range of activities, for example agriculture (crop residues, animal manure, poultry litter, etc.), food processing (vegetable and animal wastes), sewage, etc. These can be converted to energy by a range of technologies, including direct combustion, gasification, anaerobic digestion (to produce biogas), etc.

Municipal solid waste (MSW) contains a significant amount of organic matter that can be used for energy purposes. MSW can be combusted untreated, processed into a higher-value "refuse derived fuel" or converted using other technologies (e.g. gasification, pyrolysis, fermentation, etc). Sewage sludge also can be digested to produce biogas.
