What is meant by ENERGY RECOVERY?
“Energy recovery” refers to any technique or method of reducing energy input to an overall system by transferring energy with one another. This energy could take the form of sensible energy, latent energy, or both.
Energy recovery technology has been shown to be an effective way to reduce energy consumption and operational costs in buildings.
The term "energy recovery" is frequently used to refer to a small number of methods for converting waste into energy, when it actually refers to a wide range of technologies used to generate heat, electricity, or fuel.
Energy recovery provides another option for Governments and businesses to reduce their waste streams. Following the removal of recyclable materials, the remaining waste can be treated to generate energy. If all of the unrecycled waste diverted from landfills was recovered for energy generation, it would be enough to power more than 16.2 million native homes, or 162 MWh of electricity. This could save 108 million tonnes of coal used in power generation.
Waste-to-Energy
The conversion of non-recyclable waste materials into usable heat, electricity, or fuel via a variety of processes such as combustion, gasification, pyritization, anaerobic digestion, and landfill gas (LFG) recovery is known as energy recovery from waste. This is commonly referred to as waste-to-energy (WTE).
In general, two types of technologies are used to convert waste streams into energy: thermal and biological.
Thermal waste-to-energy is produced by burning trash, whereas biological waste-to-energy processes are typically centered on anaerobic digestion. Energy recovery reduces carbon emissions by reducing the need for fossil fuel-based energy sources, as well as landfill methane emissions.
While energy recovery is not recycling and does not benefit from multiple reuses of regenerated materials, it is an important part of achieving long-term development goals. As a result, no discussion of tire recycling would be complete unless energy recovery was mentioned.
Energy recovery, like material recycling, is inextricably linked to waste prevention and minimization!
It is one of the two primary methods for valorizing waste and thus reducing its environmental and economic impacts. Material recycling and energy recovery, when combined, provide an alternative and complementary means of gaining the most sustainable benefit from natural resources and their wastes, reducing the consumption of virgin resources.
Traditionally, energy recovery from mining and mineral wastes has focused on fossil fuel recovery, such as coal slime from coal tailings. Such fuel sources impose additional environmental costs in the form of emissions and, depending on the full life cycle assessment, may represent a negative reuse of mining waste.
