Waste-to-Energy is sustainability
Waste-to-Energy (“WTE”) technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we manage our waste and produce energy. By converting organic waste into biogas, we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide a sustainable source of energy.
The world is facing a major challenge of dealing with growing waste production, which is leading to a severe environmental crisis. WTE technology provides a sustainable solution to this problem by providing a way to turn waste into a resource.
Moreover, the energy produced by WTE technology is renewable and can be used to power homes and businesses, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. This helps in meeting the growing energy demand while reducing carbon footprint.
Furthermore, the WTE technology can help in reducing landfill space required for waste disposal, essentially prolonging the lifespan of the landfill, helps preserve natural resources and preventing pollution.
As the world increasingly recognizes the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and shift towards a more sustainable energy system, WTE technology is poised to play a critical role in achieving these goals.
The Different Waste-to-Energy Technologies
There are currently many Waste-to-Energy technologies, namely, incineration, pyrolysis, gasification and anaerobic digestion. Forward Energy prefers not to engage in technologies that have any aspect of burning, which might have some adverse environmental effects.
Forward Energy specializes in anaerobic digestion (“AD”) as it will ensure efficient use of organic waste, environmental friendly with higher economic benefits such as producing biogas and organic fertilizer as bi-products.
With the right design, the AD system can convert a wide range of organic waste materials, including food waste, agricultural waste, and sewage sludge, into biogas and organic fertilizer. The biogas produced from these types of waste is a green renewable energy source that can be used for power generation, heating, and transportation while the organic fertilizer can be circulated back into the agriculture industry.
The AD also has reduced environmental impact as it does not involve burning in comparison to incineration, which can produce toxic emissions and hazardous ash residues.
In summary, AD is a sustainable WTE solution that can efficiently convert organic waste materials into renewable energy while reducing environmental impact and creating economic benefits.
