Waste-to-energy – FAS ENERGY

Waste-to-energy is a growing concept in the world today, and it helps relieve pressure on natural resources and reduce environmental pollution. Waste is converted into energy through several technologies, including combustion, biodegradation and chemical decomposition.

Combustion technology is used to convert solid waste into energy, where waste is burned and heat is generated, and this heat is used to heat water and generate steam, which is used to power a high-pressure engine to generate electricity. Effluent is converted into energy in various ways, including biodegradation and chemical decomposition, where the organic matter in the waste is converted into biogas gases, which can be used to generate electricity.

Here are some of the key benefits of waste-to-energy

Healthy and safe disposal of waste:

Waste-to-energy reduces the accumulation of solid and liquid waste in urban and industrial areas, relieving pressure on final disposal sites, and helping to mitigate the health and environmental risks associated with waste accumulation.

Energy Saving:

Waste is used as an energy source in the process of converting it into energy, which contributes to the provision of other sources of energy, such as fossil fuels and electricity generated from conventional sources.

Reducing harmful emissions:

Waste-to-energy helps reduce harmful emissions associated with waste disintegration, improving air quality and protecting the environment from pollution.

Provision of natural resources:

Waste-to-energy reduces the need to use natural resources, such as natural gas and coal, and thus contributes to the conservation and availability of natural resources for future uses.

Reducing the amount of waste:

Waste-to-energy reduces the volume of waste sent to landfills, thereby reducing the negative impacts of waste on the environment.

Clean Energy Production:

Clean energy is produced using waste diversion technology, which is renewable energy and does not pollute the environment like fossil fuels, which produce a lot of harmful emissions.

Provision of resources:

Resources are significantly saved when waste is converted into energy, as waste that was sent to landfills is exploited and large expenses are paid for its disposal.

Compost production:

Some techniques can be used to convert organic waste into organic fertilizer that can be used in agriculture, boosting agricultural production and reducing costs.

Waste-to-energy offers many environmental and economic benefits. Waste-to-energy is a sustainable alternative to other sources of energy, such as fossil fuels. The volume of waste stored in the dumps is also reduced, helping to reduce pressure on natural resources and avoid their negative impact on the environment.
