Waste to Energy

Every year there is an estimated 30 million tons of solid waste and 4,400 million cubic meters of liquid waste generated in urban areas of India alone. The problems caused by solid and liquid wastes can be significantly mitigated through adoption of environment-friendly waste-to-energy technologies. These technologies hold the promise of reducing quantity of wastes and in addition, generate a substantial quantity of energy from them, and greatly reduce pollution of water and air. In spite of the unquantifiable level of benefits, they are still not seen as an attractive business opportunity. The reason for this is the lack of understanding about the various (technology/process) options available and long term viability of the waste to energy projects.

We at EAI have been researching the waste to energy industry for the past few years and have developed a thorough understanding of the various technology options and their viabilities. Diverse business opportunities along the value chain, the global scenario and the market segment for each of the waste to energy technologies are well known to us and we are poised to provide a balanced opinion about waste to energy industry.

EAI can provide extensive research and consulting assistance for value generation from the following types of waste:

• Industrial solid waste
• Municipal solid waste
• Hazardous waste
• Industrial liquid waste
• Sewage and Fecal Waste
• Agro and crop waste

We can also provide customized inputs for value and energy generation based on the following processes:
