| description | The increase in production and consumption of goods has generated a surplus of waste, which destination is commonly the landfilling sites. This represents a major bottleneck in the production chain and creates new challenges for sustainable development. Due to the environmental and economic benefits, the use of renewable and ecological fuels derived from waste has received global attention. Plasma is one of the techniques that enable achieving renewable energy from solid residues, contributing to landfill avoidance and resource reutilization in line with the circular economy principles and supporting United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 7 (affordable and clean energy), 12 (responsible consumption and production), and 13 (climate action). This article presents a review and analysis of literature related to the use of plasma gasification of solid waste as a method of waste recovery. This article portrays the efforts that have been made in this direction and the barriers to the dissemination of technology for commercial applications. The focus of this article comprises (a) extracting valuable aspects from various studies, including laboratory and field studies, (b) summarizing the work done so far, and (c) compiling studies and findings on plasma gasifiers and recent developments. |
