Refuse-Derived Fuel in India

Title: Refuse-Derived Fuel in India
Publication Type: Research Reports
Year of Publication: 2024
Abstract: Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) is being widely promoted in India and globally as a solution to municipal solid waste (MSW) management and rising energy demand. RDF is derived from MSW through the process of segregation, shredding, drying and pelletizing. Used as a substitute for fossil fuels in industries like cement and waste-to-energy plants, is RDF environment-friendly? This study assessed the government policies and standards in India, mapped the production and utilisation facilities, interviewed stakeholders, and reviewed regulatory loopholes to understand the environmental and health effects of refuse-derived fuel.
