waste energy recovery

The Environmental Protection Agency must create a waste energy recovery program.

Boustead Maxitherm designs, engineers and constructs mini-power plants and solid waste energy recovery plants.

Since 1977, Casten has founded and managed numerous companies and organizations associated with combined heat and power (also called cogeneration), decentralized energy, and waste energy recovery.

In November 2009, the United States Department of Energy (DOE) awarded Verso a $9.3 million grant to develop waste energy recovery technologies.

A waste energy recovery system enacted by the Phoenix Power Group aims to funnel 50 kilowatts of electricity back into the regional energy grid using waste oil as a combustion source.

Just last year, Gov. John Kasich, a Republican, signed into law Senate Bill 315 which expanded the renewable energy requirement to allow other projects, such as waste energy recovery, to qualify as a renewable energy resource.

The solid waste energy recovery plants are essentially mini-power plants have been developed with up to 20MW in capacity, which convert biomass, agro-industrial waste (e.g. oil palm kernels, rice husks, sugar bagasse, wood waste chips) and municipal waste into electricity.

In 1982 an oil burning steam generating plant in Sheridan Hollow was converted to burn garbage at the suggestion of Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd as part of the Albany New York Solid Waste Energy Recovery System (ANSWERS).
