Abstract
Significant amount of food and industrial wastes is being produced every year at alarming rate. The conventional ways to manage the excessive amount of waste generated include landfilling and incineration. However, these approaches often lead to uncontrolled emission of greenhouse gas or toxic compounds such as carbon dioxide, nitric oxides, methane and dioxin in large quantity during decomoposition and causing adverse environmental consequences such as air pollution, smog, acid rain and greenhouse effect. Therefore, converting waste to energy in a sustainable way using green technologies would be a desirable approach for waste management. In this chapter, conversion of food waste to energy and high value chemicals through different green technologies are presented.
