EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Waste to Energy projects is to collect the municipal solid waste coming from residential,
institutional, commercial and industrial sources and other sources include illegal dumps, street
sweepings and etc. Nationwide, many landfills are closing or exhausting their remaining
capacity, yet due to environmental restrictions, zoning laws, and other regulatory and
bureaucratic delays, pitifully few new landfills are opening to offset the looming space crisis.
Meanwhile, municipal waste continues to flow in greater volume. Handling the nation’s waste
stream has become a major problem for most municipalities. With more waste created daily,
landfills nationwide are rapidly facing a capacity crisis. Landfills are akin to owning a reverse
gold mine.

This project will assist the residents of Daet, Camarines Norte because it will reduce the
trash, save the environment, and improve or save the lives of animals and humans. because we
all know that inadequate waste management has a variety of consequences, including soil
contamination, water contamination, extreme weather brought on by climate change, air
pollution, harm to animal and marine life, and human harm. Furthermore, because of this waste-
to-energy project, the amount of waste entering landfills is reduced significantly, reducing
greenhouse gas emissions. produces a large amount of energy, recycles excess waste, and is a
sustainable process that will greatly benefit the people from Daet.

INTRODUCTION
The problem of solid waste management and the burden on landfills throughout the world is
greatly increasing. Waste to energy project is about converting the waste in Daet, Camarines
Norte into energy like gas and electricity. The population in the Philippines is continuously
growing and because of that there is also an increase of waste produce due to its population.
Moreover, in the Philippines, there is only one existing plant in Payatas, Quezon that handle
the municipal waste and others used landfills to get rid of the waste. The province of Camarines
Norte in the city of Daet is one of the places that uses landfills to dispose the waste of the
municipality. The municipal waste of Daet goes to landfills in Borabod, but the burden of the
landfills and it reached the capacity to accept waste.
Waste to energy objectives is primarily to convert waste to energy and also covert landfills
into technology sites where we can put the machine in producing gas and electricity. The idea of
replacing dumpsites into technological site for putting up the machines for the incineration of
waste process. The project problems in this part is where can we get machines that is fit to do the
incineration process and converting waste into energy. We all know that there are company that
will extend their help and willing to partner and finance the projects, but it has a return in the
future. The problem is how we can find a company that has a great offer of service at a lower
cost. And how can we convert waste-to-energy if the manpower doesn't have idea or doesn't
undergo training on how to operate the machines and technologies? Also, the Philippines
traditionally adopt using dumpsite rather than using technologies into managing waste
The project goals is to convert waste into energy with the help of the machinery the projects can
be sustainable and attainable with the help and support of the government and other interested
company. And especially the LGU’s which handle the waste management of the province has a
big role and will greatly help to achieve the goals.

OBJECTIVES
 Convert municipal waste into energy.
 Transform landfills into sites where we can put the machinery technology on converting
waste to energy.
 Apply the waste to energy technology to produce gas and electricity.
 Combat increasing rate of gas and electricity in the province of Camarines Norte,
specifically in Daet.

ALTERNATIVES
All of the options and alternatives listed will demand more effort, cost and time. The
project team, however, chose to convert landfills into technology sites from among the options
available. The project aims to convert waste into energy by turning the landfill into a technology
site for building machines that can pick up waste and biogas produced and convert it into energy
that can be used in the field. This also allows for more restrictive emission standards, controls
and monitoring. For training and manpower development, the sponsors will provide a company
to help them acquire the skills and attributes needed for the employment of the workers. Pangea
Green Energy Philippines (PGEP) is a renewable energy project development and consulting
company that provides solid technical advice, innovative financial solutions, and environmental
expertise that balances economic and environmental benefits. They can do trainings for
manpower because their company has the ability to manage and reduce waste from disposal and
turn it into electricity. Although this system may require additional costs, a waste-to-energy
project may be financed by waste generators, the government (e.g., local governments/LGU's),
or another interested company.
