WASTE TO ENERGY

ENERGY USED IN CONSTRUCTION

ENERGY USED TO EXTRACT & PROCESS THE RAW MATERIALS.

ENERGY USED TRANSPORTING MATERIALS & COMPONENTS TO SITE.

ENERGY USED DURING BUILDING.

 ENERGY FROM WASTE
THE AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED BY OUR UNIVERSITY IS AROUND 6 TONS
PER MONTH.
THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF WASTES, OUR UNIVERSITY MAINLY DISPOSES
ORGANIC WASTE, PLASTIC WASTES AND PAPER WASTES.

ORGANIC WASTE PAPER AND PLASTIC

WASTES
 PROCEDURE TO PRODUCE ENERGY

ENERGY USED DURING THE CONSTRUCTION IS MAINLY ELECTRICAL ENERGY.

ELECTRICITY CAN BE PRODUCED FROM WASTE BY USING FOUR DIFFERENT
METHODS.
BUT THE MOST PRESCRIBED METHOD IS GASIFICATION NIMAJOR AMOUNT OF
WASTE IS ORGANIC WASTE.
 GASIFICATION

GASIFICATIONIS A PROCESS THAT

CONVERTSORGANICBASEDCARBONACEOUSMATERIALS INTOCARBON
MONOXIDE,HYDROGENANDCARBON DIOXIDE. THIS IS ACHIEVED BY
REACTING THE MATERIAL AT HIGH TEMPERATURES (>700C), WITHOUT
COMBUSTION, WITH A CONTROLLED AMOUNT OFOXYGEN AND/ORSTEAM.
THE RESULTING GAS MIXTURE IS CALLEDSYNGAS(FROM SYNTHESIS GAS)
ORPRODUCER GASAND IS ITSELF A FUEL. THE POWER DERIVED FROM
GASIFICATION AND COMBUSTION OF THE RESULTANT GAS IS CONSIDERED TO
BE A SOURCE OFRENEWABLE ENERGY.
 THIS PROCESS ALMOST PRODUCES 3MW OF ELECTRICITY PER YEAR BY
TAKING WASTE FROM OUR UNIVERSITY.
THIS CAN BE A HUGE CONTRIBUTION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW
STUCTURES AND ONGOING CONSTRUCTIONS.
IT ALSO REDUCES THE ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION THAT IS CAUSED DUE TO
WASTE AND GIVES US ENERGY AS A BONUS.
 GOVERNMENT INCENTIVES

THE MINISTRY IS PROMOTING ALL THE TECHNOLOGY OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR

SETTING UP PROJECTS FOR RECOVERY OF ENERGY FROM URBAN WASTES.
THE INCREASING INDUSTRIALIZATION, URBANIZATIONGIVE RISE TO GENERATION
OF INCREASING QUANTITIES OF WASTES LEADING TO INCREASED THREATS TO THE
ENVIRONMENT.
TECHNOLOGIES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED THAT NOT ONLY HELP IN GENERATING
SUBSTANTIAL QUANTITY OF DECENTRALIZED ENERGY BUT ALSO IN REDUCING THE
QUANTITY OF WASTE FOR ITS SAFE DISPOSAL.
MNRE HAS SANCTIONED ABOUT 54 PROJECTS OF WASTE MANAGEMENT FROM 2014-
16 AND IS LOOKING FORWARD TO SANCTION MORE PROJECTS.
 CONCLUSION

WASTE MANAGEMENT GIVES NOT ONLY ENERGY BUT ALSO

REDUCES THE IMPACT OF WASTE ON ENVIRONMENT.
IT HELPS IN THE COMPLETE DISPOSAL OF WASTES.
ENERGY FROM THIS PROCESS CAN ALSO BE USED IN VEHICLES
FOR TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES.
