The Regional Assessment on the Solid Waste-to-Energy Potential in the Island of Luzon, Republic of the Philippines

The biomass from solid waste contains significant amount of carbohydrates and other combustible chemical compounds that has potential as an alternative energy source. In this paper, the synthesis of energy potential assessment from the biomass energy resources of solid waste and the development of a mathematical model equation are presented, in order to utilize as assessment tools for the local government units (LGUs) in the Philippines, most especially for the established sanitary landfills and the waste-to-energy technologies and facilities that are soon to be installed.
