Explained | Why do so many waste-to-energy plants fail?

The Hindu  

The Kerala government recently announced the State’s first waste-to-energy project in Kozhikode. Waste-to-energy plants in major cities could also consume a portion of the non-recyclable dry waste generated in urban local bodies nearby. Of the non-biodegradable waste, only about 5 TPD out of the 95 TPD is recycled; the remaining non-recyclable dry waste could be used to generate power at the waste-to-energy plant. The calorific value of segregated and dried non-recyclable dry waste is much higher, at 2,800-3,000 kcal/kg, sufficient to generate power. Kozhikode’s projected population and waste generation rate could avail around 100 TPD of non-recyclable dry waste to generate power.
