Woodhead Publishing From Waste to Energy: Case Studies of Green Technology Implementation (Woodhead Series in Bioenergy)

From Waste to Energy: Case Studies of Green Technology Implementation offers a detailed exploration of green energy implementation through real-world case studies from around the globe and across various sectors. Emphasizing the transformational impact of practical green technology applications, the book discusses dynamic solutions for converting waste into energy through waste-to-energy projects. In addition, it explores how different countries cooperate to utilize waste-to-energy processes, from waste management to developing international cooperation. Sections address both the economic and practical challenges associated with these technologies, providing a comprehensive assessment needed to evaluate the sustainability of such practices. The book begins with an introduction to waste valorization and explores the various processes and managements of converting waste materials produced by industrial activities into valuable products or energy. Notably, it explores the transformation of agrowaste into biochar, which not only provides a sustainable method of waste management but also acts as a negative carbon technology, significantly contributing to climate change mitigation. In addition to exploring different methods for energy conversion, the book also provides a global perspective through case studies from different countries and regions of the world. Provides insights into unique, sustainable opportunities for integrating green energy technologies globally Covers green technology implementation across various sectors, including agriculture and industrial waste Provides examples of implementation of waste-to-energy green technologies Demonstrates how sustainable practices and industrial waste valorization can yield long term ecological and economic benefits Presents the pros and cons of multidisciplinary approaches to implementing green energy
