The objective of this work is to analyze the challenges involved in the generation of energy using garbage (urban solid wastes) as the main input, and understand the processes in this type of energy generation in order to estimate the energy potential of the city of Lages. Our purpose is to explain how it works and highlight its benefits to the modern society, especially in view of the growing need of sustainable technologies that lead to human development. Other aspects such as its economic, technical, environmental and social importance are also discussed in this paper to raise awareness and ensure a more promising future for our planet.
