2. Waste-to-energy - Wikipedia

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

   Waste-to-energy (WtE) or energy-from-waste (EfW) refers to a series of processes designed to convert waste materials into usable forms of energy, typically electricity or heat. As a form of energy recovery, WtE plays a crucial role in both waste management and sustainable energy production by reducing the volume of waste in landfills and ...

3. File:Sustainable Aviation Fuel - Review of Technical Pathways.pdf

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sustainable_Aviation...

   When resourced from waste carbon, there are often additional benefits, such as cleaner water when sourcing carbon from wet sludges or less waste going to landfills when sourcing the carbon from municipal solid waste or plastic waste. Jet fuel properties differ from gasoline and diesel, so research will be most successful if it begins with the ...

4. Renewable natural gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_natural_gas

   Renewable natural gas can be produced and distributed via the existing gas grid, making it an attractive means of supplying existing premises with renewable heat and renewable gas energy. Renewable natural gas can also be converted into liquefied natural gas (LNG) or compressed natural gas (CNG) for direct use as fuel in transport sector.

5. Plasma gasification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_gasification

   Plasma gasification is a thermal process that converts organic matter into a syngas (synthesis gas) which is primarily made up of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. A plasma torch powered by an electric arc ionizes gas and transforms organic matter into syngas, producing slag [1] [2] [3] as a byproduct. It is used commercially as a form of waste ...

6. Energy recovery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_recovery

   The energy can be in any form in either subsystem, but most energy recovery systems exchange thermal energy in either sensible or latent form. 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 ...

7. Landfill gas utilization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landfill_Gas_Utilization

   Landfill gas is cheaper than natural gas and holds about half the heating value at 16,785 – 20,495 kJ/m3 (450 – 550 Btu/ft3) as compared to 35,406 kJ/m3 (950 Btu/ft3) of natural gas. [13] Boilers, dryers, and kilns are used often because they maximize use of the gas, limited treatment is needed, and the gas can be mixed with other fuels.
