Estimation of energy generatation from municipal solid waste a case study of bobbili city, Andhra Pradesh

In India, the electricity sector supplies the world's 6th largest energy consumer, accounting to 3.4% of global energy consumption by more than 17% of global population. About 21.53% by hydroelectric power plants, 2.70% by nuclear power plants, 10.42% by Renewable Energy Sources and65.34% of the electricity consumed in India is generated by thermal. The energy crisis and environmental degradation are currently two vital issues for global sustainable development. Due to Population explosion in India, people are migrating from villages to cities, and Rapid industrialization which generate thousands of tons of municipal solid waste daily, which are one of the most important contributors for environmental degradation at global level. One of the major environmental problems in India is Municipal solid waste management. The present study conducted bycollecting 100% solid waste in Bobbili municipality and separation then transportation from city to municipal solid waste management park located 5km away from municipality, then we separate the solid waste depending on dry and wet. Finally, electrical energy is calculated of all the Bobbili city solid waste which comes out. It is found that electricity production from MSW could be an alternative way of power generation as well as waste management.
