rbanization and rapid population growth in cities have led to the production of significant amounts of municipal waste and have created numerous environmental problems. Meanwhile, by using modern technologies, including waste to energy, in addition to solving environmental problems, it is possible to produce energy and save on fossil fuel consumption. Biomass resources, including municipal solid waste, agricultural waste, livestock waste, and municipal and industrial wastewater, which are considered as renewable energy sources, have high potential for electricity generation; So as each ton of municipal solid waste per day, with a calorific value of 6,000 kj/kg while using incineration technology, has the potential to produce 466 kWh electricity per day. Likewise, it is expected to generate 280 kWh electricity from anaerobic digestion of one ton of organic waste per day. Producing this amount of electricity, in addition to saving on fossil fuels, also reduces greenhouse emissions such as methane and CO2. Therefore, it seems necessary to use this potential to produce energy and solve environmental problems caused by landfilling.
