Turning Local Waste Into Local Power

Waste-to-energy technology transforms local challenges into valuable resources by converting agricultural byproducts, municipal waste, and industrial residuals into reliable energy. This innovative approach not only reduces the volume of material sent to landfills but also creates new revenue streams for communities through the sale or use of generated power. By harnessing materials that would otherwise go to waste, communities can improve environmental outcomes, stimulate local economic growth, and reduce dependence on outside energy sources. The result is cleaner communities, stronger budgets, and a more resilient, self-sufficient energy future.

Applications:

• Agricultural waste (e.g., sugarcane bagasse, rice husks)

• Municipal solid waste

• Industrial byproducts (wood waste, tires)

Benefits:

• Economic Development: Create new jobs and revenue from resources already on hand.

• Environmental Impact: Reduce emissions and landfill waste.

• Energy Security: Produce reliable, local power for public facilities or the grid.
