Description

In Brazil, the power generation from municipal solid waste (MSW) market is incipient. Currently, biogas and incineration are the two operational technologies, and these are the segments considered in this study. The market depends on government incentives and still lacks regulation on project implementation and pricing. However, international financing and government plans are driving the market. Installed capacity for biogas technology is expected to increase until the end of the forecast period (2016). Incineration technology, currently in the prototype stage, is expected to grow in profitability. Forecasts for revenue and installed capacity are included for the forecast period.
