1. Waste-to-Energy: Recent Developments and Future Perspectives towards Circular Economy
2022 by Abd El-Fatah Abomohra, Qingyuan Wang, Jin Huang
This book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, engineers, and professionals seeking insights into recent advancements in biofuel production and efficient waste management. In the context of energy consumption, where a significant proportion relies on non-renewable fossil resources, there's a growing focus on developing new renewable energy sources, particularly biofuel production from various waste materials. The book is thoughtfully divided into three sections: Section I covers conventional waste management, Section II explores the transformation of waste into green energy, and Section III offers case studies and future prospects. Each section features specialized chapters that provide comprehensive and advanced knowledge on their respective topics. The book encompasses recent breakthroughs, challenges, and prospects for the waste-to-energy approach, encompassing various waste types as feedstock for alternative biofuels. It also delves into integrated approaches, including wastewater treatment, plastic degradation, and CO2 sequestration, in an economically viable and eco-friendly manner. Additionally, the book examines different waste recycling routes to enhance biofuel production, offering environmental and economic analyses. The inclusion of case studies and future perspectives, authored by experts in the bioenergy industry, provides real-world insights into the challenges and solutions encountered in this field.

2. Waste to Energy: Opportunities and Challenges for Developing and Transition Economies
2012 by Avraam Karagiannidis
Solid waste management has emerged as a pressing global concern, with numerous regions reaching critical levels of waste accumulation. Many developing and transitioning economies still lack the fundamental infrastructure and awareness necessary for effective waste management. It is in these regions that the most acute challenges in solid waste management are being confronted. Waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies, proven and continually evolving in predominantly developed countries, offer a diverse spectrum of solutions. However, their integration into developing and transitioning economies often encounters skepticism and a complex array of unique barriers distinct from those experienced in validated WTE applications. "Waste to Energy: Opportunities and Challenges for Developing and Transition Economies" tackles this issue, combining theoretical insights with concrete examples, including contributions from experts in the field, practical lessons, both successful and unsuccessful case studies, and real-world developments. This comprehensive exploration of environmental engineering and management provides valuable insights for solid waste management planners, facility operators, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers.

3. Waste-to-Energy: Technologies and Project Implementation
2011 by Marc J. Rogoff, Francois Screve
This comprehensive book delves into the intricacies of waste-to-energy programs and technologies, elucidating the processes that transform conventionally landfilled solid waste into a valuable energy resource through waste-to-energy projects. As the global community endeavors to curtail the volume of solid waste destined for landfill sites and strives to meet renewable energy and carbon reduction objectives, modern waste-to-energy facilities have emerged worldwide. These cutting-edge facilities have significantly mitigated the environmental impact associated with early waste incineration plants, achieving pollution reduction rates exceeding 99%. Through an array of international case studies, authors Rogoff and Screve offer insights into diverse strategies employed in the planning and execution of waste-to-energy initiatives. In its second edition, the book encompasses the latest advancements in technology, explores practical engineering complexities, and delves into the economic and regulatory landscape shaping the development of waste-to-energy solutions.

4. Municipal Solid Waste to Energy Conversion Processes: Economic, Technical, and Renewable Comparisons
2010 by Gary C. Young
"Municipal Solid Waste to Energy Conversion Processes: Economic, Technical, and Renewable Comparisons" offers a comprehensive examination of emerging waste disposal technologies, catering to a broad audience, from engineers and academics to decision-makers in the public and private sectors. This book provides an in-depth look into the current landscape of the solid waste disposal industry, spotlighting the potential of proven plasma gasification technology in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management. It demonstrates how this technology can efficiently handle MSW, generating energy and revenue for local communities while upholding environmental standards and minimizing waste generation. The book begins with an introduction to pyrolysis/gasification and combustion technologies and proceeds to present a multitude of case studies covering various waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies. It establishes an economic and technical framework against which all existing and emerging WTE technologies can be assessed and compared. Topics encompass pyrolysis/gasification technology as a cost-effective MSW management approach, combustion technology, and the exploration of other renewable energy resources such as wind and hydroelectric energy. Additionally, the book addresses plasma economics, revenue streams derived from waste-to-energy management, and offers an independent case study of the Eco-Valley plant in Utashinai, Japan, delving into plant operations. The book is replete with extensive case studies illustrating the transformation of garbage into liquid fuels, electricity, and ethanol power, demonstrating how proven plasma gasification technology can process existing MSW and legacy landfill waste, effectively eliminating air and water pollution stemming from landfills.
