Waste to Energy
Waste to Energy
Waste to Energy (WTE) is a valuable solution for managing waste and producing renewable energy. It helps reduce landfill dependency, contributes to energy security, and supports environmental sustainability by minimizing waste and lowering carbon emissions.
Waste to Energy (WTE) is the process of converting waste into usable energy, such as electricity or heat.
Key methods include:
Incineration – Burns waste to generate heat and power.
Gasification – Converts waste into synthetic gas (syngas) for energy.
Pyrolysis – Breaks down waste at high temperatures to produce bio-oil and gas.
Anaerobic Digestion – Produces biogas (methane) from organic waste.
Landfill Gas Recovery – Collects methane from landfills to generate energy.
Benefits:
Reduces landfill waste.
Generates renewable energy.
Lowers environmental impact.
WTE helps manage waste while producing clean energy, promoting sustainability and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
