Waste to energy is the process of extracting energy from waste products such as leftover food, biological waste products and landfill rubbish. Most commonly, this process involves combustion to directly produce electricity or heat from waste, and specialist systems are required to ensure the process works efficiently. These are known as waste to energy plants.
An increasing number of businesses are choosing to use waste to energy to minimise their impact on the environment. You may have heard about the ‘Bio-Bus’ in operation in Bristol, and now the company is operating an entire fleet of buses that are running on biomethane gas, which is produced by human sewage and food waste.
