The present study investigates the energy potential from medical waste produced by healthcare facilities of Moga city. The study included the collection of generation rates from city hospitals and selected, cotton, bandages, plastic syringe and glucose bottles as the main components. Five samples of each selected components were collected and tested in laboratory, where proximate analysis and calorific value tests were conducted. The investigation highlighted that plastic syringe has highest calorific value and cotton has least. One kilogram of cotton waste was equivalent to 4.21 kW and one kilogram of plastic syringe was equivalent to 11.86 kW.The total energy that can be extracted from selected wastes amounts to 9.03 MW/day.
