Ghazipur is one of the three existing landfills of Delhi that has come up with a Waste to Energy (WtE) plant processing and disposing off the municipal waste. The plant produces RDF that will result in power generation .This plant will be a source of revenue and also earn carbon credits. This paper deals with the techno economic analysis of the plant to asses its viability on a commercial scale.

Littering of wastes on streets not only causes inconvenience and aesthetic problems, but also has a lot of impact on human health Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) is highly neglected aspect of Delhi. At present approximately 6000 tons of waste is generated per day which is disposed in the three existing landfills. The three landfills are almost saturated therefore some alternate method of disposal should be designed. The present paper discusses the energy content of MSW of Delhi so that some suitable technology can be adopted for the disposal of wastes. Generally evaluation of the heating value of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is done experimentally by using bomb calorimeter and theoretically by using Dulong’s equation. In this paper, regression analysis is used to develop a predictive model of the energy content for MSW of Delhi.
