Panorama da geração de energia elétrica a partir de resíduo sólido urbano.

Abstract

This paper proposes to present an overview of thermoelectric utilization from solid urban waste. In order to do so, a general analysis of the technologies used in the energetic use of solid waste was carried out, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each one, focusing on the incineration process. The study also presents a panorama explaining the waste-electric power plants in Brazil and in the world. For the accomplishment of this study a bibliographical research was carried out, in the review modality of the literature, in the national and international scope, detailing the difficulties of implantation of the system in question in Brazil and showing the scenario of the generation of electric energy moved to solid residues in the world scope using incineration and biogas production.
