With the alarming rate of enormous increase in the quantum and diversity of waste materials generated by myriad human activities, and their potentially harmful effects on the general environment and public health, there arises an invariable need of increasing awareness about an urgent need to adopt scientific methods for safe disposal of wastes. While there is an obvious need to minimize the generation of wastes and to reuse and recycle them, the technologies for recovery of energy from wastes can play a vital role in mitigating the problems. Besides, the education on how they can use it for generating a renewable and sustainable source of energy and the ways to generate would become utmost important and mandatory. Besides recovery of substantial energy, these technologies can lead to a substantial reduction in the overall waste quantities requiring final disposal, which can be better managed for safe disposal in a controlled manner while meeting the pollution control standards. So, this direction of research would yield multiple benefits and the world can even end up with a very minimum expenditure on new energy resources. So this paper mainly focuses on the types of wastes that can be processed to energy, and the ways in which it can be processed to energy, which is the ultimate requirement of the world today!

It is known that around 11 billion pounds of waste from poultry industry accumulates every year, we also have endless appetite for chicken and other poultry products. The feathers cannot be just kept only in pillows, but we need to utilize it as under grade feed for animal. An environmentally safe process is created for converting feather meal of chicken into biofuel. It is also found that feather meal consists of blood, innards apart from processed chicken feather. So, this way of research, would save much of the fuel input cost for many industries, by using the chicken feather as their energy input. It is a multi beneficial way of processing them into biodiesel, because we have significantly huge amount of feather every year and it's also found protein rich and easy to convert into fuel form. In this paper we preliminarily discuss how chicken feather meal is processed further. Also we will discuss how it may be considered having a potential for an alternative energy in different forms. Apart from using it as energy, how can we use it for other value added products such as holdup of hydrogen, is also discussed.
