Waste to Energy (WTE), is a term that is used to describe various technologies that convert non-recyclable waste into usable forms of energy including, heat, fuels and electricity.
Pyrolysis is the process of heating organic material at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen.
Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction where two or more atomic nuclei collide at a very high speed and form a new type of atomic nucleus.
Biodigestion or anaerobic digestion (AD) is a biological process that occurs when organic matter is decomposed by bacteria in the absence of oxygen to create biogas.
Nuclear fission is a process where energy is released by the splitting of uranium atoms.
Gasification is a process that converts organic or fossil fuel based material into syngas and carbon dioxide.
A power plant is an industrial facility used to generate electric power with the help of one or more generators which converts different energy sources into electric power.
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) technology converts the sun’s energy into direct current electricity by using semiconductors..
Refining is an industrial process whereby crude oil undergoes various chemical processes to convert it into products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas.
A Steam Turbine is a mechanical device that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and transforms it into mechanical work.
Combined cycle is an electric generating technology that creates additional electricity from heat released by gas turbines.
Cogeneration or Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is the combined generation of heat and power.
Coal Liquefaction is the process of converting coal to liquid fuels.
Gas turbines, also called combustion turbines, generate power using pressurized gas.
A fuel cell is a device that generates electricity by a chemical reaction.
Solar Thermal technologies capture the heat energy from the sun and use it for heating and/or the production of electricity
