ENERGY GENERATION PROSPECTS FROM SOLID WASTE OF KANO METROPOLIS MARKETS
ENERGY GENERATION PROSPECTS FROM SOLID WASTE OF KANO METROPOLIS MARKETS
The health and wellbeing of every community is intricately linked to its economic growth and standard of living. Poor solid waste management has an impact on the health and consequently economy of communities. Kano Metropolis markets have vital role to play on economic growth to Nigeria and some part of West African countries at large, on the other hand they contributes on the environmental challenges. This research work assess to way of mitigating this challenges by recycling the waste generated by these markets to convert the wastes into useful such as generating of electricity. The result of the work revealed that the food and vegetable wastes were found to larger percentage from the solid wastes followed by plastics wastes. Whereas, textile materials, paper glass/ceramics, wood, electronic and metals wastes were 21%, 25%, 12%, 9%, 8% and 32% respectively and the average power generation potential in June is higher than that of July by 350 kWh/day due to the higher calorific values during the period.
