Use Case: Decentralized Waste-to-Energy Solution

Waste is typically available in abundance everywhere. Urbanization and economic growth are the main driving factors behind accelerated waste generation. Waste could act as a raw material for manufacturing industries or as fuel for power production. But, the challenge lies in the collection, transportation and sorting of the waste.

One of the key barriers to economic development  in many countries is the lack of energy. It is a vicious circle really; lack of energy means low manufacturing rate, which translates to weak exports and shortage of foreign currency for fuel import purposes. And building power generation facilities alone is not enough. There must be a simultaneous power distribution network development plan as well.

A combination of locally available fuels, decentralized power production and electrical micro grids is the right solution for the problem. Waste can be the local fuel available for power production.
