Viabilidade da implementação de usinas geradoras de energia elétrica a partir de resíduos sólidos urbanos.

Abstract

The correct management of urban solid waste (MSW) is increasingly seen as a task that demands differentiated and articulated actions, since its generation has been growing gradually over the years. Therefore, one of the major challenges is to find environmentally safe, socially adequate and economically viable solutions to address this problem. However, if properly utilized, these wastes can be very useful from an energetic point of view. This work aims to show incineration as an alternative for treatment of urban solid waste in medium-sized cities in the country, and this technology was evaluated for the data collected in the city of Campina Grande-PB.
