Descripción
The book opens with a comprehensive overview of Waste-to-Energy technologies, their conversion methods, and future prospects. It then examines the integration of waste management and energy recovery in the circular economy, using case studies and SWOT analyses. The book further explores the life-cycle evaluation of energy production from waste conversion processes and the role of Life-Cycle Assessment in urban waste management. Case studies on Waste-to-Energy projects offer global perspectives on sustainability and decarbonization.
This is an invaluable resource for academic and industry researchers, engineers, scientists, sustainability managers, policy advisors, and project leaders who are involved in the development, implementation, and refinement of Waste-to-Energy initiatives.
