Preface/Editorial: Energy Recovery Processes from Wastes
The current global municipal solid waste (MSW) generation levels are approximately 1.3 billion tons per year and are expected to increase to approximately 2.2 billion tons per year by 2025. Thus, with the growth of society, it is becoming an inevitable by-product, and one of the greatest challenges for future generations is to manage these large quantities of waste in a sustainable way. One approach is to minimise the amount of waste produced and to recycle larger fractions of waste materials. A considerable part of the waste is left out and needs a better solution than landfilling. The problem of waste management sector cannot be solved by itself; on the other hand, the energy sector is a perfect answer with ever-increasing energy demands. Energy recovery technologies can provide alternative energy, reduce the burden on landfill site and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. A variety of processes exist for waste conversions. The most used of these are thermal conversions {incineration, fast and slow pyrolysis, gasification, production of refuse-derived fuel (RDF), in the forms of methane, hydrogen and other synthetic fuels (biochemical, e.g. anaerobic digestion/biometh
