| Abstract | Toward diversifying the sources of electricity and ensuring the sustainability of power generation, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is proposing an impressive plan for renewable energy utilization including waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities. The environmental values of WTE facilities in KSA have never been investigated. This research forecasted the potential environmental values of WTE facilities in KSA in the context of energy demand, greenhouse gas emission, and landfill area in comparison with complete landfilling option up to year 2032. Two scenarios were developed: Mass Burn with Recycling and Mass Burn. The research results have shown magnificent environmental values for WTE facilities. The Mass Burn with Recycling scenario shows potential energy demand reduction of about 55.6 million barrels of crude oil, greenhouse gas emission reduction of about 15.2 million metric ton carbon equivalent per year (MTCE/year), and landfill area saving of about 95.3 % in comparison with complete landfilling. Mass Burn scenario shows potential energy demand reduction of about 9.9 million barrels of crude oil, greenhouse gas emission reductions of about 4.8 million MTCE/year, and landfill area saving of about 90 % in comparison with landfilling. This research results shall support Saudi officials’ decision to develop WTE facilities in the Kingdom. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
