Abstract

Using Municipal solid waste as a fuel for electric power generation is considered of an important matter for the engineers and scientists now a day. The municipal solid waste (MSW) that is collected in Baghdad city the capital of Iraq is estimated to be 14,368 ton /day for year 2029 with population of 10,769,040. In this paper an MSW - based power generation plant is suggested to be constructed in Baghdad as there are three final disposals of MSW one of them is Nabaai disposal facility which is considered the main final disposal of MSW in Baghdad as 85% of the MSW is deposited in it. The calculation of the power produced by MSW-based power plant for Baghdad is 299 MW which is greatly assists in relieving the power generation crisis in Iraq.
