Case study on power generation from waste on the Sinhgad Technical Education Society (STES)‎ Campus, Lonavala, Maharashtra

Abstract EN

Biomass energy has yet to be fully developed due to the major barriers.

These include a lack of knowledge concerning biomass resources and economic obstacles associated with transportation and storage.

This study examines the viability of harnessing solid waste and food waste for power generation on the STES Campus in Lonavala, Maharashtra, India.

The performance of biomass gasification technology is evaluated to understand its ability to reduce CO₂ emissions associated with electricity generation.

This study clarifies the various methods of harnessing energy from biomass resources.

With the available resources on the Campus, it is estimated that 40kWH of energy can be produced per day.

The technology is a promising way to reduced local CO₂ emissions which degrade air quality and contribute to global warming.
