Popis: Currently, energy security and environmental cleanliness is becoming an important concern to the civilized world due to increasing population and global warming, which motiving the researcher towards finding the alternative energy resources instead of traditional energy source for power generation. Now, Waste-to-Energy technology (WtE) has earned a great deal of attention in developed countries for effective waste management system. It can also be used to address the energy problems in developing countries like Bangladesh. Even though there are several methods of WtE technologies but still finding a suitable technology is a bargaining question. Therefore, this study deals with the determination of more suitable and effective method among WtE technologies in perspective of our country economy, energy efficiency, and environmental aspects that can sustain with our future energy demand. From our study, we have determined Gasitication-based WtE technology as the more suitable method because of its operation flexibility, lower cost, higher efficiency, less GHG emissions, and simplicity in design. Thus, the energy produced in this method can contribute significantly to reduce our electricity shortage with effective waste management system and can be a building-block of a green-smart city.
