Generating Energy from Wastes

Utilising Modern Techniques in Converting Wastes into Energy

Course Overview

This Generating Energy from Wastes training course provides the necessary concepts, knowledge, and good practices about energy generation processes in multiple forms such as electricity and/or heat. This could be done by treating different streams of wastes such as paper and plastics. Waste to Energy (WTE) technologies consist of the treatment process that could create energy in electricity, heat, or transport fuels such as diesel from single or multiple sources of wastes.

This training course aims in improving people to engage in planning, managing, and/or operating waste streams using modern techniques of converting waste into energy, such as processing Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) in incinerators in a combined heat and power (CHP) plant. It will also focus on how multiple perspectives' efforts could be joined to form a holistic picture of the available opportunities in generated wastes. Moreover, this training course helps understand the interaction between the three major problems face human society in the 21st century, energy security, public health, and clean environment and how wastes could be utilised to develop new forms of energy help in overcoming the challenge of accumulation of wastes whether hazardous or non-hazardous due to increased rates of economic growth.

This Energy Training Centre training course will highlight the following: 

  • The need for energy production from wastes
  • The routes of energy production from wastes
  • Some scenarios about the conversion of wastes into energy
  • How increased urbanisation rates affect the waste generation
  • The impact of economic growth on the outlook of waste generation, quantitatively or qualitatively

Course Objectives

By the end of this training course, the delegates will learn to:

  • Understand the meaning of wastes and their classification
  • Know the importance of quality parameters of different types of wastes
  • Differentiate the types of wastes suitable for energy production
  • Identify solid wastes and their classification
  • The modern techniques for transforming wastes into energy

Training Methodology

Different learning techniques will be used during the training course, starting from PowerPoint presentations, interactive practical exercises, workshops, focused group discussions, related videos, and business case studies.
