energy-from-waste technologies

Energy-from-waste (EfW) technologies convert non-recyclable waste materials into useful energy, typically electricity or heat. The process involves burning waste at high temperatures, which produces heat that drives turbines to generate electricity. Some methods, like advanced incineration with emissions control, minimize environmental impact. EfW helps reduce landfill volume, recovers energy from waste that can’t be recycled, and supports sustainable waste management. It’s a way to turn waste problems into resources, offering a practical solution for managing residual waste while generating power.
