Municipal solid waste as a source of energy

Air, water and soil contamination is the major source generated from municipal solid wastes. In current scenario air, water, and soil are polluted because of the uninhibited decomposition of solid wastes. The systematic treatment of municipal solid wastes leads to the economical source of energy. Appropriate municipal waste management (MSW) strategy be implemented to minimize environmental impact and subsequent energy recovery. In this mini review report we have discussed about the technological aspects of energy production from MSW. Overall energy potential and future prediction has also been reported.
