Waste to Energy (Incineration)

Waste To Energy (WTE) technology involves the thermal treatment of waste to release energy that is then used to generate steam and electricity.

Across the globe, growing volumes of waste and soaring energy prices are making Waste-to-Energy (WTE) a leading solution for a cleaner future.WTE plants not only help in landfill part through as much as 90% reduction in the volume of waste disposed. Using proven technology, the incinerator-boiler also captures the energy embedded in materials.

Waste-to-Energy (WtE), also known as “Energy-from-Waste” (EfW) or “Waste-to-Energy Recovery”, is the process of generating energy in the form of electricity or heat from the primary waste treatment process or the process of processing waste into fuel. “Waste-to-Energy” is a form of energy recovery. Most “waste-to-energy” processes directly generate electricity, heat, or produce combustible commodities such as methane, methanol, ethanol or synthetic fuels through combustion.

This interactive graphic explains how the Waste to Energy plant works. It has been open since 2014 and operating at full capacity since day one. We also consistently operate within all pollution limits and report on the plant’s emissions on a monthly basis here.
