Abstract

Abstract: Solid wastes are now regarded as a viable renewable energy source that can be used to produce fuels and electricity. Co-gasification has been recognized as one of the best possible thermal technologies, establishing its strong context towards transforming waste to valuables. In comparison to typical gasification, the benefit of co-gasification lies in its capability to achieve the desired composition of product gas by altering the feedstock and mixing ratio. The effects of co-gasifying solid waste and their mixtures for energy and material recovery from wastes are elaborated and clearly stated in this review. It attempts towards understanding impact of solid waste type and their mixture on co-gasification performance as well as syngas quality. This emphasizes as a major pathway towards energy recovery from solid waste and facilitate future developments in terms of energy efficiency and technical feasibility while focusing on environmental effects. Graphical abstract: Image 1 Highlights: Critically reviewed the application of co-gasification for energy sources from waste. Co-gasification can be the most acceptable method to decrease emissions of toxic gases. Gasification can be an ecologically friendly way to dispose off variety of wastes. Co-gasification offers a cost-effective generation of new emerging raw materials.
