Abstract
Daily wastes could be a great source of renewable energy. In a densely populated country like Bangladesh, tones of wastes are produced daily, a considerable portion of which is organic in nature, and also biodegradable. Due to absence of adequate waste treatment plants in Bangladesh, the accumulation of these wastes represent a serious environmental hazard, especially when untreated wastes are dumped directly into water bodies. But if these wastes can be processed systematically, it is possible to generate renewable energy from those. Bangladesh is already going through a dire shortage of electricity and power and with most of its gas fields nearing exhaustion, the situation is likely to worsen in near future. Hence, a way of extracting power from municipal waste essentially provides Bangladesh with alternative fuel option as well as reduces its waste disposal problem. This paper represents the procedures of getting renewable energy from daily municipal wastes in a regulatory way: how the wastes are to be first sorted according to biodegradable/non-biodegradable nature, subsequent power extraction from the first and recycling of the latter portion. The paper also includes the likely hurdles that have to be overcome, possible outcomes and benefits too.
