Turning the waste in our landfills into something useful.
How It Works
Waste to Energy (W2E) is a method of taking either existing waste landfills, or bringing in new waste, and running it through a process to create byproducts; taking the waste from existing landfills is called “mining” the landfill, while collection of new waste. The purpose behind doing this is to create byproducts from the waste that will generate revenue.
Products Of Waste To Energy
Syngas
A synthetic gas that is comparable to natural gas or propane, and is usable as a feedstock to power a gas turbine. This gas turbine in turn provides megawatts of power to put onto the grid.
Metals
With the many metals pulled in from the waste, recycled metal can be sold and distributed.
Jet fuel
A clean jet fuel for airplanes.
Clean Water
As part of the process potable water is created.
Carbon Dioxide
Indoor vertical food growing has a need of carbon dioxide to accelerate the growth of their food, and the facilities pay for carbon dioxide.
Biodiesel
A clean diesel fuel product that is carbon zero, and is usable in all diesel engines or motors.
Ash
An ash composite is left behind which can be sold for a wide variety of uses, including agricultural, industrial, and other purposes.
Carbon Neutral / Carbon Zero
The process is carbon neutral/carbon zero and should qualify for many state and federal tax credits, as well as renewable energy credits (RECs), along with any international tax credits (ITCs) in the international projects we have moving forward.
VT has partnered with two dierent suppliers of W2E in order to install and operate the facilities. Both companies have a long experience in the industry and have innovative techniques to extract the maximum amount of byproducts from the waste. All types of waste will be taken in, including: municipal solid waste (MSW), plastics, metals, construction, etc. On top of the waste that will produce income from the byproducts, all waste companies in the US pay what are called tipping fees when they “tip” their trucks to dump the waste in a standard landfill facility. These fees can range from $30 to $50 per ton, and VT anticipates being able to charge at a minimum of $30 per ton from each company.
