Waste-to-Energy coupling sector in MENA Region. Potential Economic

      Аннотация: This is an attempt to highlighting this technology to be harvested in Middle East North Africa region, it is sometimes surprising if you know that there is no any waste incineration facility at this very important and vital spot of the world. Depending on the available data and analysis, it was evaluated that the average daily waste generation per capita in the region around 1-1.5 kg/day, around 400 million people are living there, taking into account the average heat content of the waste around 7 MJ/kg in this case we have more than 3 million GJ of Energy. For many decades till now this region supplying the world with energy, let us imagining if this amount of waste considered as a source of fuel and converted to useful kinds of power by waste incineration then the direct connection between the economic conditions and the oil prices would be reduced and a new era will begin, especially if the renewable energy systems also embedded.
