Summary
This report identifies energy recovery technologies that are in a stage of development to justify a full-scale load-guarantee demonstration program. Section II reviews the waste categories that may be recovered for use as fuel or products. These include crop and wood waste, municipal solid refuse, industrial waste, animal manure, and sewage sludge. Section III reviews the technologies available for recoverying energy from the waste categories given in Section II. The technologies are direct combustion, materials recovery, thermochemical conversion, and bioconversion (anaerobic digestion). These processes recover usable materials and/or convert oganic wastes into a number of different energy forms including gaseous, liquid, and solid fuels, as well as steam and electricity. Section IV considers the special issues that affect the integrated energy recovery system. The issues are transportation, resource reliability, marketability of derived fuels, and the conversion technology stage of development. Section V describes potential and existing applications of the available energy recovery technologies.
