Economic Feasibility of Using Municipal Solid Waste and Date Palm Waste for Clean Energy Production in Qatar

Energies, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 18(4), P. 988 - 988

Published: Feb. 18, 2025

The transition to clean energy is crucial for mitigating the impacts of climate change and achieving sustainable development. Reliance on fossil fuels, which are integral manufacturing transportation, remains a major contributor greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Biomass gasification presents renewable alternative that can significantly reduce However, proper disposal municipal solid waste (MSW) agricultural residues, such as date palm (DPW), an increasing global challenge, including in Qatar. This study evaluates economic feasibility implementing MSW DPW plant electricity generation country’s growing population development have led substantial production, making it ideal location waste-to-energy (WTE) initiatives. Using discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis, estimates capital cost 373 MWth facility at approximately $12.07 million, with annual operating costs about $4.09 million revenue $26.88 2023. results indicate net present value (NPV) $245.77 return investment (ROI) 84.80%, payback period 5 years over 20-year project lifetime reduction 206,786 tonnes CO2 annually. These findings demonstrate viability biomass Qatar while contributing reduced GHG emissions advancing sustainability goals under National Vision 2030.

Biodegradable Waste in Compost Production: A Review of Its Economic Potential

Nitrogen, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 6(2), P. 24 - 24

Published: April 5, 2025

This study explores the economic benefits and challenges associated with biodegradable waste composting, highlighting its role in promoting sustainability through a circular economy framework. We reviewed relevant literature found 160 articles for this study, including keywords “Biodegradable waste”, “Compost production”, “Economic Potential”. Considering quality studies, we employed PRISMA technique to conduct comprehensive data synthesis evaluate 89 final review. Our findings highlight that composting offers significant advantages, reduction, cost savings management, carbon credit, source of nitrogen, job creation, reduced reliance on synthetic fertilizers. Further, it supports environmental by improving soil health, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, reducing landfill use. However, such as high upfront costs, control, market competition chemical fertilizers remain barriers widespread adoption. The extends emphasizing integration into can foster innovation, enhance local economies, contribute climate change mitigation. Furthermore, promising pathway advancing sustainability. Future research should focus technologies, optimizing their applications, developing stronger policy frameworks ensure successful implementation practices.
