Waste To Energy
Waste To Energy (WtE) is the process by which different types of waste enter an energy recovery process that is able to extract stored energy and return to the grid clean green energy. Energy transition goes a long way in mitigating the climate change.

One World – Shared Responsibility
Waste is available in abundance everywhere in the world. It offers a number of economic opportunities in reuse, recycling and energy recapture. However, it remains an under-utilized resource. The world produces billions of tons of municipal waste every year, of which more than 70% is diverted to landfill. Using this waste to produce green electricity helps to mitigate its environmental impact and reduce fossil fuel dependency.
Graphene Canada delivers turnkey WtE plants that meet the local needs. For the client, this means a reliable, sustainable, cost-effective, high-quality solution delivered in a timely construction and short time to commercial operation.
The WtE solutions offered by Graphene Canada are based on real world needs, with careful and detailed needs assessment findings. Upon which a customized package solution is generated that best meets the requirements, environmental impact and size of the particular location.
Benefits of WtE Plants
WtE can reduce waste volume and mass by 75 to 90 per cent. One of the top reasons for waste-to-energy initiatives is that they reduce landfill waste. Much of what ends up in landfills each year could be reused or recycled in some way. WtE plans save that material from sitting in a landfill, releasing toxic substances into the water, soil, and air.
CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT
Thermal WtE plants reduce greenhouse gas emissions by diverting waste from landfills and open burning. WtE acts as a carbon sink? In addition to the GHG emission savings from fossil fuel substitution, WtE also mitigates potent emissions by diverting waste from landfills and recycling the leftovers of the combustion process.
PUBLIC HEALTH & ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
A shift to thermal WtE could improve hygiene and environmental conditions. The actual waste-to-energy process is also environmentally sound. No fossil fuels or non-renewable sources are required to facilitate these processes. WtE plants can also fuel themselves. In addition to creating energy, they also prevent greenhouse gas release. According to TRVST, the power generated from waste-to-energy plants can prevent the use of 200,000 barrels of oil each year, too.
ENERGY GENERATION
The energy value in waste can be utilized to generate electricity and heat during the thermal WtE process. Properly planned and implemented waste-to-energy initiatives can generate massive amounts of energy, which can then be used to produce heat and electricity. There is no way to completely eliminate waste products in the world. However, WtE initiatives give that waste a second life and use it to create other things that people need for survival.
Job Creation and Shaping Public Perception
Investing in WtE infrastructure not only improves waste management but also stimulates local economies. The construction, operation, and maintenance of these facilities create jobs, support communities, and foster economic growth. Many people have concerns about jobs lost as governments continue pushing to reduce waste. It’s important to note, though, that eco-friendly initiatives like WtE can also create more job opportunities. As waste-to-energy initiatives become more popular worldwide, the demand for professionals who can facilitate them will grow as well.
WTE plants are an integral part of emergency management. In the aftermath of large-scale weather disasters such as Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Beryl, vast amounts of household and other debris had to be disposed in a short amount of time.
