Abstract

This project seeks to determine the most viable states for Energy production using plastic MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) using fast pyrolysis process. This is determined by performing a techno-economic analysis on these states. Two states were chosen in each of Nigeria’s six Geopolitical zones. This would provide valuable insight into the energy realizable from this technique, the environmental impact and also the cost implications.
