Waste-to-energy technology converts industrial, agricultural or municipal waste into usable forms of energy like transportation fuel, electricity, steam or heat. Biomass and municipal waste materials like cardboard, food waste, leaves and leather products can be used at waste-to-energy plants as feedstock material.
IH2 (Integrated Hydropyrolysis and Hydroconversion) technology, a process in development, is a waste-to-energy technology that converts non-food organic waste such as forestry, agricultural residues, and aquatic plants into transportation fuels. With strategic alliances in place with Illinois-based Gas Technology Institute (GTI), Zeton and KBR, IH2 technology R&D is underway to optimise the technology for future commercial use.
