CONVERTING WASTE TO ENERGY SUSTAINABLY: METHODS, ECONOMIC PROSPECTS, AND ASSOCIATED PROBLEMS
Abstract
The increasing generation of waste and the rising global energy demand have positioned sustainable waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies as a viable solution for both environmental management and energy production. This study examines the current landscape of sustainable WTE technologies, highlighting the ways for economic wealth creation, environmental sustainability, and energy security. It explores various conversion methods such as anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, gasification, and incineration, assessing their efficiency, scalability, and environmental impact. The research also analyzes the economic potential of WTE in job creation, revenue generation, and reduction of fossil fuel dependency, particularly in developing nations. However, the study identifies significant problems, including high capital costs, technological limitations, policy gaps, and public resistance. Drawing on case studies and empirical data, the paper advocates for integrated waste management strategies, supportive policy frameworks, and public-private partnerships as critical enablers for maximizing the benefits of WTE. The study concludes that while sustainable WTE technologies present immense ways for wealth and environmental stewardship, overcoming technical, financial, and social barriers remains key to their successful implementation.
Introduction
Management of solid waste has become a critical environmental and public health challenge, mostly in developing economies. Rising population and rise of urban cities impact significantly to increased waste generation, much of which remains improperly disposed. Waste-to-Energy (WTE) technology presents a promising solution by converting waste into usable forms of energy such as electricity, heat, or fuel. This idea aligns with sustainable development goals by reducing landfill use, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, and generating economic value (Kumar et al., 2020).
Use of Sustainable WTE technologies not only mitigate the environmental impact of waste but also present significant ways for wealth creation through energy generation, job creation, and innovation. Moreover,adoption and implementation of these technologies face multiple problems, including technological limitations, high capital costs, public resistance, and regulatory constraints (Ali et al., 2022).
Statement of the Problem
Irrespective of potential of sustainable WTE technologies to address energy and waste management issues simultaneously, many regions—particularly in sub-Saharan Africa—have not fully explored or adopted them. It is critical to examine the ways and wealth embedded in WTE technologies and understand the problems hindering their broader application. Without proper ideas, the benefits of WTE may remain underutilized, and the growing waste problem may continue to harm public health and the environment.
Objectives of the Study
The study aims to:
Examine the various types of sustainable waste-to-energy technologies.
Identify the economic ways and wealth creation potential of WTE.
Investigate the problems limiting the adoption of WTE technologies.
Recommend practical strategies for enhancing the implementation of sustainable WTE systems.
Research Questions
What are the key types of sustainable WTE technologies?
How can WTE projects contribute to economic growth and job creation?
What are the major barriers to implementing WTE technologies in developing countries?
What strategies can be adopted to promote WTE for sustainable development?
Review of Literature
Strategy of utilization of Waste-to-Energy technologies include incineration, anaerobic digestion, gasification, and pyrolysis. They can convert biomass, municipal solid waste, and industrial waste into electricity and biofuels (Panepinto et al., 2015). Approach of circular economy encourages using WTE to close the gap of resource use and minimize environmental degradation.
WTE contributes to energy security, reduces reliance on fossil fuels, and opens up ways for investment and employment (Zhou et al., 2021). However, critics argue that high capital investment, lack of infrastructure, and limited technical know-how pose significant barriers (Ogbonna & Nwachukwu, 2020).
Methodology
The study will adopt a mixed-method approach comprising qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys. Data will be collected from stakeholders in the waste management sector, including municipal officials, environmental scientists, and entrepreneurs. A purposive sampling technique will be used. Quantitative data will be analyzed using SPSS, while qualitative responses will undergo thematic analysis.
Significance of the Study
This research will provide valuable insights for policymakers, environmentalists, investors, and urban planners on how to leverage WTE technologies for economic and environmental benefits. It will also highlight strategies to overcome existing problems in the sector.
