Waste-to-Energy (WtE)

Waste-to-Energy (WtE) is a process that transforms waste materials into usable energy, usually in the form of electricity or heat. Instead of sending waste to landfills, WtE facilities burn it at high temperatures, which generates steam to power turbines. This process not only reduces the volume of waste but also helps produce energy that can be used for heating buildings or powering homes. While WtE can help manage waste and produce energy, it also raises concerns about air pollution and the environmental impact of burning waste. Balancing these factors is key to its implementation.
