Anaerobic Digestion.
The vast majority of organic waste ends up in some form of a landfill. Anaerobic digestion plants convert the biogenic portion of organic waste into renewable natural gas. This can then be burnt to produce heat, electricity and fertiliser. The high moisture content of organic waste enables clean water to be extracted.
These by-products help to close the loop on the circular economy and generate significant revenue streams which further boost the economic viability of the WtE project.
Organic waste streams include residential food waste, agricultural waste such as animal muck and plant clippings, waste from food processing facilities, and wood waste from processes such as furniture production. This technology is highly scalable, making it suitable for small communities and large waste producers, and everything in between.
