Development of renewable and sustainable energy source
is the best solution to the country’s energy demands [1]. It is
much desirable that the renewable energy to be developed
has no adverse effects on the environment. Surely,
productions of renewable energy from materials that are
readily and locally available are extremely advantageous and
reduce the cost of its production. Environmentally friendly
individuals may choose to compost their food waste to
acquire a useful fertilizer or soil amendment; however, this
process does not allow a means to capture the energy that is
locked up in waste. Many municipal waste management
programs do attempt to harness organic waste energy
through combustion in waste-to-energy plants and methane
collection from microorganism activity in landfills. While
such systems make use of the energy available in food waste,
they do not directly benefit the individuals who produce the
waste, and may also involve additional costs to those
individuals related to collection [2]
