Achinas, Spyridon and Quintero, Marena Vitola (2025) Scoping aspects in the evaluation of plasma gasification technology for energy production from Municipal Solid Waste. World Journal of Advanced Engineering Technology and Sciences, 16 (1). pp. 385-390. ISSN 2582-8266

In Cartagena, the management of municipal solid waste (MSW) faces significant challenges due to rapid population growth and unplanned urban expansion. Plasma gasification has been considered as a sustainable and cost-effective waste-to-energy technology. In this article, we scoped essential aspects for evaluation of plasma gasification technology that could treat Municipal Solid Waste and produce energy in Cartagena and this short communication is informative for project engineers as well as energy engineers, plant operators, and cost analysts.
