The case for waste-to-energy

With the development of large reciprocating generator sets that can run reliably on alternative fuels such as low-Btu (i.e. dilute) methane, landfills, waste treatment plants, coal mining facilities and other sources of waste fuel now have a way to harness these "free" energy sources. Low-Btu reciprocating generator sets use proven technology to produce significant amounts of power from fuels that would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere, including methane, a "greenhouse gas" that has been implicated in global warming.

This paper outlines the process for determining waste-to-energy site suitability, reviews the maintenance issues and technology answers related to contaminants often found in methane, and cites several working waste-to-energy installations as examples of installed waste-to-energy applications.
