Waste to energy

Abstract

For centuries mankind has produced waste from its activities which have created an environmental load, one of which is the pollution from waste. As industrialization has taken place worldwide the load on the environment has increased and today the environment's worst enemy is mankind. We produce globally more than 1 billion tons of waste per year. Today we have to realize that the production of waste has to be minimized and the remaining waste to be treated in an environmentally safe way. For the present population on earth one could say that mankind's obligation is to preserve and improve the environment for the future generations. One of the solutions for minimizing the waste in an environmentally safe and controllable way is waste incineration with energy production, on which subject I will elaborate further in the following.
