Abstract
Morocco has a potential of considerable biomass with a forest estate around nine million of hectares, and a herd around seven million units of large cattle. In particular, in the Rabat region, the amount of waste is about 714Â 350Â Kg in 2014, who is equivalent to 0.96Â Kg/inhabitant/day. In this document, we present, in the case of the Rabat, the Current situation of the electricity production from waste incineration. The data will be processed by statistical methods (Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) model and Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) model). The objective behind using these models is to introduce data for future years' estimates. We will show that the amount of electricity generated by incineration of waste in Rabat is in the order of more hundreds of Giga-watt-hours. This alternative allows a reduction in tonnage of accumulated waste and avoids its negative impact on the environment. It also provides energy independence. This involves, necessarily, construction of landfills and integration of neighbourhoods' population.
