Convert waste into an energy source
As global waste production continues to rise, waste-related emissions are a growing concern. In 2020, waste emissions, including methane from landfills, accounted for approximately 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, municipal solid waste volumes are expected to increase by over 70% by 2050. But how can this challenge be turned into an opportunity?
The answer lies in advanced energy from waste solutions. By converting waste into energy, we can reduce landfill dependency and cut emissions. Discover how our energy from waste technology can help you turn waste into value and support a sustainable future.
The Challenge of Sustainable Waste Management
As waste production grows worldwide, companies and municipalities face escalating environmental and operational pressures. Traditional waste disposal methods, like landfilling, are no longer sustainable given their significant contributions to methane emissions. They also cause local issues such as soil contamination. Customers are seeking ways to manage waste responsibly, reduce their environmental impact, and align with global sustainability goals. They’re looking for energy-from-waste solutions that not only handle waste but also turn waste into value. In short, they want to transform waste from a costly problem into an asset.
