Transforming Saudiط£آ¢أ¢â€ڑآ¬أ¢â€‍آ¢s Municipal Waste into Energy and Products with Waste Segregation using AI

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

In response to the increasing challenges posed by municipal solid waste (MSW) and its impact on the environment, there is a critical need for sustainable waste management solutions. Currently, large amounts of MSW are sent to landfills, leading to land degradation, greenhouse gas emissions, and resource wastage. Our project focuses on transforming this waste into electricity and valuable by-products, such as calcium carbonate and food-grade COط£آ¢أ¢â‚¬ع‘أ¢â‚¬ع‘, using advanced Waste-to-Energy (WtE) technology. This innovative system integrates AIdriven waste segregation and Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) to maximize resource utilization and minimize environmental harm. Supplying electricity: The system provides a reliable and sustainable source of electricity to support local energy demands. COط£آ¢أ¢â‚¬ع‘أ¢â‚¬ع‘ capture technology: Incorporating advanced COط£آ¢أ¢â‚¬ع‘أ¢â‚¬ع‘ capture methods, the system significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to carbon neutrality goals. Project Statement: Sustainable Waste-to-Energy system: transforming municipal solid waste into electricity and valuable by-products.
