Abstract
Renewable waste materials from agriculture, (crop debris, livestock wastes, abattoir wastes, bulk forest wastes, etc.) industries (paper and pulp, bagasse, press mud, contaminated petroleum or synthetic oil, water in oil, oil in water, tarry residue waste, coal tar, heavy metals, a metallic chemical element both lethal and dangerous) and domestic sources(bottles, cans, clothing, compost, disposables, food packaging, food scraps, newspapers and magazines and yard trimmings) are convertible to useful energy forms like bio-hydrogen, biogas, bio-alcohols, etc., through WTE routes for sustainable growth of the world. Total solid wastes are produced annually by products through industry, municipal, agricultural, mining and other processes in the country. China and India play a vital role to add to worldwide waste generation. The cumulative of renewable energy in India as of 31.12.2018 was 74.08166 GW, and the WTE have contributed 0.18% only. Wind energy contributed 47.43%, solar 34.03%, biomass power/cogeneration 12.25%, small hydro 6.098%. Biomass power/cogeneration and WTE are classified as bio power category in India. The plants can be constructed in the area of waste availability if needed. The expected capacity is 20 MW, and the financial support of 81791 Million USD (60 Million INR).
