A Feasibility Analysis: To Investigate the Potential for Utilizing Solid Waste Materials to Produce Gasohol and Other Recyclable Commodities within the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Baltimore, Maryland Areas

摘要

The objective of this report was to determine the feasibility of utilizing municipal solid waste materials to produce gasohol and other recyclable commodities within the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Baltimore, Maryland area(s). It is the findings of this report that any viable system of resource reclamation can be instituted in either of the respective cities. The impetus, however, pertaining to instituting any one system of recovery are too complex and requires more than a cursory analysis of alternative systems. Developing a truly comprehensive approach to resource reclamation requires: (1) sufficient funding, (2) municipal cooperation, (3) closer examination of various influencing factors, (4) community awareness and participation in planning process.
