Waste Management Jumps into Waste to Energy

A #garbage co producing more #energy than entire US #solar industry. Wow. #Trash = #renewable energy via @triplepundit

By Lynn Brown, Vice President of Communications at Waste Management Sunshine, wind and geothermal heat are all examples of renewable energy, as they are all replenished naturally and thus have a lower impact on the environment. Now imagine if there was an energy source right here in America that humans generated at a rate of approximately 250 million tons per year? There is, and it’s likely sitting in your waste bin right now. Through innovative technology, waste can be converted into energy that is cost-effective and sustainable. In fact, waste is already hard at work producing electricity and fuel across the country. For example, Waste Management alone currently produces more electricity with landfill gas to energy (LFGTE) facilities than the entire U.S. solar industry. Landfill gas to energy is a process that collects the gases naturally produced by decaying waste and c...

WM produces more elec with landfill gas 2 energy (#LFGTE) than entire US solar industry. More landfills than panels? [link]
