India produces over 62 million tons of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) annually and more than half of it is unmanaged

With the growth in India’s population and urbanization, this is expected to double over the next decade

The unscientific handling of MSW has been a cause of potential problems including carbon emissions, excessive usage of land and amongst others resources

As per Govt. estimates, India has the potential to generate more than 500 MW of power from MSW

As per the CPHEEO manual (Municipal Solid Waste manual), MSW generated in major Indian cities is rich in organic matter and has the potential to generate about 15-25 l/kg

of landfill gas every year mainly comprising methane and carbon dioxide over its operative period )

Use of MSW for power generation helps in reduction of almost 1 kg of carbon dioxide for each kWh
