A Proposed Indigenous Municipal Waste Based RE Generation Plant Design for South Asian Coastal Mega Cities

Résumé

Waste holds an adequate amount of energy to serve as a viable renewable energy source. Moreover,
it is poised to create healthy revenue and handsome economy for country as waste may serve as
energy, wealth and gold. We are converting our waste into wealth. By transforming it into useful
resource, Sindh solid waste management board (SSWMB) estimates that Karachi will generate
16,000 tons of garbage daily by 2020. Currently, Karachi metropolis produces approximately
12,000 tons of garbage every day. Through proper management of the solid waste, the existing huge
garbage may well be converted into an efficient source of income as well as energy generation.
By doing so, Karachi may be relatively safe, disease free and environmentally clean city. Solid
waste management in metropolis has emerged as a 21st century challenge. The Solid waste is
increasing problem day by day. It is creating environmental hazards and social problems due to
increase in waste, health Issues and lack of management. So it is high time to convert this
problem in to a viable mechanism coupled with the solution by applying the instruments of proper
management for the solid waste. The Solid waste ejection is the most common problem in third
world countries.
