Incineration waste to energy generator

“Is it possible to turn trash into energy?”

 

Humanity has two problems. Our levels of waste are piling up every year, destroying available land storage space. We also do not have enough energy to supply everyone on the planet. However, what if we could solve these two problems at once? Well, let’s think about it with our engineering mindset. We know that traditional energy generation methods such as coal and nuclear power involve the decomposition of a material to heat water into steam to drive a turbine. So what if we were to simply burn waste instead? This energy generation method is known as an incineration waste to energy generator and is used all over the world to generate electricity.
