In order to assess this possibility it is necessary to evaluate the quantity and quality of wastes, to develop the various technologies for transforming them into usable energy (by burning them directly or by turning them into solid, liquid or gaseous fuels), and to study the technical,economic and environmental aspects of these processes, also in comparison with alternative uses of the wastes.
(bruciandoli direttamente o trasformandoli in combustibili solidi, liquidi o gassosi), e studiare gli aspetti tecnici, economici e ambientali di tali pro cessi, anche in confronto con altri impieghi alternativi dei rifiuti.
