6. Conclusion
This paper presents an overview on solid waste that can be used as a source of bioenergy in Libya including MSW, ISW,
and HSW as biomass sources. The management of solid waste and valorization is based on an understanding of MSW's
composition and physicochemical characteristics. Energy from waste is not a new concept, but it is a field that requires
serious attention. Various energy conversion technologies (thermochemical extraction, biochemical extraction, and
mechanical extraction) can produce useful products (e.g., electricity, heat, and transportation fuel). The dependence of
Libya on fossil fuels will be reduced thereby significantly reducing both pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Solid waste
can be used as an energy source in Libya. The implementation of landfill disposal techniques should be encouraged for the
valorization of biogas.
