Rotas de aproveitamento energético dos resíduos sólidos urbanos nas regiões de desenvolvimento sustentável do Estado da Bahia.

Abstract

Generating electricity from municipal solid waste (MSW) is a proposal to solve both a local (municipal) problem, which is the effectiveness of public MSW management policies, and the global problem of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this context, integrated solid waste management has emerged as a potential solution to socio-environmental problems and the prospect of using waste for energy. This work proposes a study of the potential for generating biogas from MSW to generate electricity in the state of Bahia, using waste-to-energy (WtE) technologies from the perspective of the Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos (PNRS) and the Marco Legal do Saneamento Básico (MLSB), and the Plano Estadual de Resíduos Sólidos, with the aim of proposing the best energy use technologies available for Regiões de Desenvolvimento Sustentável. The results of the electricity potential for each conversion route are shown on heat maps for the state of Bahia and for the sustainable development regions proposed by the Secretaria de Desenvolvimento Urbano do Estado da Bahia.
