This feasibility study dealt with the evaluation of various energy conversion technology for the municipal solid wastes in the City of Muntinlupa, Philippines. With the increasing population and economic activity, waste production is also rapidly increasing. A solution being seen into is the conversion of residual wastes for energy generation. The multi-attribute decision-making scheme was utilized for such evaluation of the alternatives, namely: pyrolysis, gasification, and anaerobic digestion. Among the three, pyrolysis was chosen because of its reliability, availability, carbon emission, net present value, sulfur dioxide emission, and nitrogen oxides emission.
