Waste-to-Energy (WtE) is rapidly evolving from conventional power generation into an integrated, carbon-neutral ecosystem that maximizes value recovery from waste.
Among emerging solutions, thermo-catalytic conversion stands out as the most promising technology, capable of transforming unsegregated municipal solid waste (MSW), plastics, rubber, and industrial residues often with up to 50% moisture into clean hydrocarbons (gas and oil), bio-carbon, and water.
Operating at moderate temperatures of about 450-600°C, thermo-catalytic conversion requires no pre-treatment, segregation, or drying, enabling same-day waste-to-resource conversion that prevents biological decomposition.
With a negative carbon footprint of -2.5 to -4.5 kg CO2 per kg of waste processed, this approach not only offsets disposal and fossil fuel costs but also contributes to decarbonization.
Recovered oil and water streams are market-ready.
