  2. Waste-to-energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste-to-energy

    Incineration, the combustion of organic material such as waste with energy recovery, is the most common WtE implementation. All new WtE plants in OECD countries incinerating waste (residual MSW, commercial, industrial or RDF) must meet strict emission standards, including those on nitrogen oxides (NO x), sulphur dioxide (SO 2), heavy metals and dioxins.

  3. Waste-to-energy plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste-to-energy_plant

    The typical plant with a capacity of 400 GWh energy production annually costs about 440 million dollars to build. Waste-to-energy plants may have a significant cost advantage over traditional power options, as the waste-to-energy operator may receive revenue for receiving waste as an alternative to the cost of disposing of waste in a landfill, typically referred to as a "tipping fee" per ton ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incineration

    A prominent example is the AEB Waste Fired Power Plant, Amsterdam. [75] [76] In Sweden, about 50% of the generated waste is burned in waste-to-energy facilities, producing electricity and supplying local cities' district heating systems. [77]

  5. Energy recycling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_recycling

    Energy recycling is the energy recovery process of using energy that would normally be wasted, usually by converting it into electricity or thermal energy.Undertaken at manufacturing facilities, power plants, and large institutions such as hospitals and universities, it significantly increases efficiency, thereby reducing energy costs and greenhouse gas pollution simultaneously.

  6. Waste heat recovery unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_heat_recovery_unit

    A regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) is an example of a waste heat recovery unit that utilizes a regenerative process.. A waste heat recovery unit (WHRU) is an energy recovery heat exchanger that transfers heat from process outputs at high temperature to another part of the process for some purpose, usually increased efficiency.

  7. Clean technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_technology

    Clean technology includes a broad range of technology related to recycling, renewable energy, information technology, green transportation, electric motors, green chemistry, lighting, grey water, and more. Environmental finance is a method by which new clean technology projects can obtain financing through the generation of carbon credits.

  9. Energy recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_recovery

    In some circumstances the use of an enabling technology, either daily thermal energy storage or seasonal thermal energy storage (STES, which allows heat or cold storage between opposing seasons), is necessary to make energy recovery practicable. One example is waste heat from air conditioning machinery stored in a buffer tank to aid in night ...
