Small Scale Trash to Energy
Last year I wrote about Plasma Arc Waste Disposal, which converts waste to energy for large cities. I asked Plasco whether they plan on scaling down the technology to handle smaller municipalities, and as I recall, their reply was essentially: not for awhile.
At least one company has developed technology to convert garbage to energy on a smaller scale. IST Energy’s Green Energy Machine (GEM) is an affordable trash-to-energy conversion system suitable for operations such as office complexes, hotels, malls, restaurants, college/university campuses.
