Waste-to-Energy plants

Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plants are facilities that convert municipal solid waste into energy. They incinerate trash at high temperatures, which generates steam to drive turbines and produce electricity. The process helps reduce waste volume, minimizes landfill use, and provides a renewable energy source. While some emissions occur, modern WtE plants have advanced filtration systems to reduce pollutants. Overall, they play a role in energy recovery and waste management, contributing to a more sustainable environment by harnessing the energy potential of discarded materials.
