Development of electricity and heat generation assessment index for waste to energy technology selection
Developing nations are still in search for practical solutions to improve the current waste management system through the application and development of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) technologies. WtE is important in solving major issues regarding ineffective waste management. Different WtE technologies hav...

Developing nations are still in search for practical solutions to improve the current waste management system through the application and development of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) technologies. WtE is important in solving major issues regarding ineffective waste management. Different WtE technologies have different ways of operation and different amount of energy production. Therefore, it is very important to identify the type of WtE technology that is suitable for implementation according to their energy aspect. The aim of this work is to introduce the Electricity and Heat Generation Assessment Index (EHGAI) developed with the purpose of assisting the selection of suitable WtE technologies for implementation in terms of energy aspect. There are three energy parameters involved in the development of this technique which are heat energy generation, net electrical output and MSW mass reduction.
