India has a significant untapped waste-to-energy potential of 5690 MW from urban and industrial waste, with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) offering subsidies and incentives to promote such projects.
Despite this potential, India has realized only about 2% of its waste-to-energy capacity, leading to untreated waste contributing to water and air pollution.
India's focus on alternative and renewable energy sources includes waste-to-energy, with various technologies like Bio methanation, Incineration, Pyrolysis, and Gasification in use.
The India Waste to Energy & Tech Expo will feature technologies for energy production from waste and participation from relevant companies in the sector.
