Cleantech -- Other Alternative Energy

Waste to energy is a treatment process in which clean/renewable energy is generated from unexploited waste assets, such as garbage, sewage, unusable crops, and other waste products. This technology has a positive effect on the climate, resulting in a decreased amount of greenhouse gas emitting landfills. Combustible fuel types, such as methane, methanol, ethanol, or some synthetic fuels are produced through this process.
