Abstract

Management of domestic and industrial wastes is of great concern to all sections of society. Huge quantities of solid wastes are generated from cities, industries, agricultural activities, markets, and hotels on a daily basis. Inadequate management of these wastes poses a serious risk to environment. Generation of energy from these wastes could be helpful for proper management of waste. Recovery and generation of energy from wastes isn't only of economic importance but also could be a boon for conserving natural resources.
