What is Waste-to-Energy?
WtE stands for Waste-to-Energy.
It refers to the process of generating energy (typically electricity or heat) from the treatment of waste, usually through methods like incineration, gasification, pyrolysis, or anaerobic digestion. Municipal solid waste, biomass, or other non-recyclable waste materials are used as fuel to produce energy while reducing landfill use. For example, incineration plants burn waste to create steam that drives turbines for electricity generation.
