Reportlinker.com has declared the inclusion of a new report titled ‘Waste-to-Energy Technology Markets: Thermal and Biological Processes for Electricity and Heat Generation from Municipal Solid Waste: Market Analysis and Forecasts’ in its range of report offerings.
According to the report, although large quantities of waste collected in open pits pose a real threat to the ecology, the advent of latest technologies, government policies and viable financial conditions are joining forces to use the waste for power production. It also mentions the opportunities available to develop a major market for waste-to-energy (WTE) power production plants that use municipal solid waste (MSW) to generate heat and electric power.
The report indicates that over 900 thermal WTE plants are functioning all over the world and generating around 130 TWh of power to treat 0.2 billion tons of MSW. It also mentions that most of the waste contains large quantities of renewable and biological products and hence provide a potential source of clean energy. The report also mentions about the advanced thermal treatment technologies such as plasma-arc gasification and biological technologies that provide an alternative to the existing WTE techniques.
The research delves in detail about the global market opportunities available for WTE technologies to create heat and electricity from solid waste. It deals with a number of issues such as present and upcoming technology options for WTE, economic conditions and market forces, public and regulatory policies and key players of the industry. The details in the report are bifurcated under technology and geography segments and presents details up to 2016.
