As mentioned before, the technologies for the conversion of waste to energy and products can be broken down into three categories: thermochemical, biochemical, and physicochemical technologies. Combustion/incineration is a special type of thermochemical technology which is mainly used for the generation of heat and electricity. As indicated earlier, various types of upgrading technologies are used to generate transportation fuels, chemicals, and materials [10]. The end results for the applications of these technologies are heat, electricity, transportation fuel, chemicals, or materials. In the following sections, we briefly evaluate each of these technologies. Some of the detailed descriptions of the combustion, pyrolysis, gasification, and plasma technology outlined below closely follow the excellent review of Helsen and Bosmans [7].
