Abstract
The growing global energy demand and environmental degradation due to waste accumulation and emissions necessitate sustainable energy solutions. This project focuses on converting waste materials into electricity by utilizing heat and light energy through thermoelectric generators (TEGs) and solar energy systems. A significant portion of energy is lost when industrial byproducts and municipal waste are discarded without proper utilization. By capturing the thermal and radiant energy from these materials, the proposed system efficiently converts waste into usable electricity. The design includes a heating panel to burn waste, thermoelectric modules for heat-to-electricity conversion, and solar panels to harness light energy. To ensure real-time monitoring and optimization, current and voltage sensors are integrated into the system. Additionally, a pollution control filter is implemented to reduce harmful emissions during waste combustion. This technology supports effective energy recovery from waste materials, lowers environmental pollution, and offers an environmentally benign alternative energy sourceall of which are in line with the objectives of global sustainability. Key Words: Waste-to-Energy (WTE), Thermoelectric Generator (TEG), Renewable Energy, Energy Recovery, Arduino etc.
