Generating electricity from organic wastes

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.

Agenda 21 recommends developing processes to recover energy and provide renewable energy sources, animal feed and raw materials from recycling organic waste and biomass.

1. Recovering energy from domestic waste
2. Producing biofuels
3. Managing organic wastes
4. Generating electrical power
5. Developing alternative electricity

1. Using biotechnology for environmental protection
2. Marketing compost
3. Extending rural energy planning to villages and households

1. Incinerating wastes
2. Generating biogas for fuel
3. Educating home-owners to use renewable energy

1. Recycling organic wastes

1. Unexplored energy alternatives
2. Underutilized wastes
3. Insufficient utilization of renewable biofuels

1. Wastage
2. Unproductivity
3. Underproduction
4. Overproduction
5. Energy
