The main question for this topic @ Billion Dollar Questions: What are the alternative energy sources available to us?

 

See a list of all the topics under the question here.

 

Content derived from Wikipedia article on Waste to Energy

 

Waste-to-energy

 

Waste-to-energy (WtE) or energy-from-waste (EfW) in its strictest sense refers to any waste treatment that creates energy in the form of electricity or heat from a waste source that would have been disposed of in landfill, also called energy recovery. More advanced Waste-to-energy processes result in usable fuel commodity, such as hydrogen or ethanol, upon completion of process.

 

Waste-to-energy and incineration

 

Waste-to-energy has become synonymous with incineration. Modern incinerators are vastly different from the old dirty incinerator, and efficiently burn waste in modern boiler furnaces, capturing the released heat to make steam and electricity. Modern incinerators can also reduce the volume of the original waste by 90%, depending upon composition and use of outputs[citation needed]. Unlike the older designs, modern incinerators incorporate air pollution control systems and continuous emissions monitors.

 

Modern incinerators are considered to be sources of partly renewable energy by the USA federal government and 15 USA states that have established renewable energy programs[citation needed]. Also some European countries that have established renewable energy programs consider energy production through incineration as renewable [citation needed]. However others, such as the UK, do not consider incineration to be renewable because plastics originate from non-renewable fossil fuels.

 

Energy from waste in other technologies

 

There are a number of other new and emerging technologies that are able to produce energy from waste without burning the waste directly. These technologies are considered to generate renewable energy and are widely perceived to be more publicly acceptable.

 

Thermal technologies:

 

Gasification (partly renewable)

Pyrolysis (partly renewable)

Plasma arc waste disposal In infancy

Non-thermal technologies:

 

Anaerobic digestion

Mechanical biological treatment

MBT-Anaerobic digestion (renewable energy)

MBT-Refuse derived fuel (partly renewable)
