Question: What is waste-to-energy (WtE) plant?
Answer: A waste-to-energy (WtE) plant is a facility that converts municipal solid waste (MSW) into energy, typically in the form of electricity or heat. The process involves the combustion of waste materials to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators, thereby producing electricity. Alternatively, the heat generated can be used directly for industrial processes or district heating. WtE plants are designed to reduce the volume of waste sent to landfills and to recover energy from waste that cannot be recycled. They are considered a form of renewable energy since they generate power from non-fossil fuel sources. Modern WtE plants are equipped with advanced emissions control systems to minimize pollutants released into the atmosphere, making them a cleaner alternative to traditional waste disposal methods.
Overall, WtE plants contribute to waste management and energy production, helping to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainability.
