Growing industrialization and urbanization have significantly increased global waste generation, creating an urgent need for efficient resource recovery technologies. Waste-to-energy systems provide sustainable solutions by converting municipal, agricultural, industrial, and hazardous waste into valuable energy products while reducing landfill dependence. Catalytic technologies are central to improving conversion efficiency and maximizing energy recovery from diverse waste streams.
Researchers are advancing catalytic gasification, pyrolysis, hydrothermal liquefaction, anaerobic digestion, and biomass conversion processes to generate electricity, hydrogen, biofuels, and synthetic chemicals. Novel catalysts, advanced reactor designs, and integrated energy recovery systems are improving process efficiency while minimizing environmental emissions. These technologies contribute directly to energy security, climate change mitigation, and sustainable waste management.
This session provides an international platform for discussing waste conversion technologies, catalyst development, renewable fuels, resource recovery systems, and circular economy applications. Presentations will highlight scientific breakthroughs and industrial case studies demonstrating how waste materials can become valuable resources for sustainable economic development.
