Waste to Energy

As the world gets ready to embrace future challenges, there must be a rethinking of several very important issues; maintaining our water resources, drastic reduction of carbon emissions to lessen greenhouse gases and a better approach to disposing and recycling waste. Our economic system is not harmonious so the task of recycling and reusing won’t be an easy transition.

Citizens of the world need to better understand how waste is conceived and that it isn’t just a wasted material, but a very valuable commodity. The first to recognize or rethink this aspect, were the waste management companies or as we now refer to them as, commodity management companies.

It is expected that as early as the year 2030, waste will not be burned or buried, but instead reprocessed into valuable resources that manufacturers will require for industrial use.  Waste to Energy plants have evolved in the last ten years with technological advancements in design and processing including but not limited to:

 

  • Capability to recycle up to 90% of the input material
  • Processes that separate metals, plastics and glass
  • Ability to generate electricity from the use of bio-diesel and syn-gas
  • Ability to produce jet fuel for commercial airliners
  • Capability to produce drinking water from the moisture within the waste material
  • Eliminate the methane escaping from landfills

 

In addition to the material achievements and advancements, the sector has also realized a socio-economic benefit as well: creation of skilled jobs.

At NAEG, we believe that whether it’s a new infrastructure, post-disaster reconstruction, urban development or a humanitarian development project, waste management technologies and specifically waste-to-energy technology applications are a general tool-box application that is always considered in the planning process. The company’s founding partners have participated in several waste-to-energy projects worldwide and are currently focused on advancement of new technologies and certain ground-breaking projects globally.
