Authors: Lazar Potashnyik — Int-Energia Kft., Hungary; Arian Mamayenko — Metaplasma S.L., Spain Abstract PGMCC®[1] technology is designed for integrated processing of municipal solid waste, industrial solid waste and biomass. The process is based on Plasma Gasification and Melting (PGM), using water vapour as the plasma-forming gas. The organic fraction… Continue reading
Biomass facility operators manage an unusually interconnected operation: fuel handling, combustion or conversion, energy recovery, pollution controls, emissions monitoring, equipment maintenance, and environmental reporting all have to work together. Yet many biomass facilities still manage these functions through systems installed at different times, for different purposes, with limited communication between… Continue reading
Waste-to-energy facilities are not just a technological marvel; they represent hope for a sustainable future where our trash powers our homes. In this article, we will explore the journey of your waste and discuss how waste-to-energy plays a vital role in solid waste management. What Happens to Our Waste? Have… Continue reading
When the commissioning crew flies home and the digester clock begins its twenty year run, one kind of professional steps forward. Dr. Srinivas Kasulla has spent a career being that person. Dr. Srinivas Kasulla learned this early. He has spent the better part of his career occupying the space between… Continue reading
Biomass is one of the oldest and simplest ways of getting heat and energy, and it’s starting to make a comeback due to its status as renewable resource. Some, however, aren’t so sure that using more of it would be good for our environment. So, how sustainable is biomass energy… Continue reading
The planet is already suffering because of questionable environmental practices. It is becoming increasingly necessary to find sustainable solutions to save the earth. Biomethane is counted among the best renewable energy sources because it is both renewable and eco-friendly. While it is not completely free of greenhouse gases, it does not… Continue reading
Sweden is considered as a global leader in sustainable waste management and in the reduction of per capita carbon footprint. The country consistently works to lower its greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency and increase public awareness. Over the past couple of decades, Sweden has developed methods for repurposing waste,… Continue reading
Food waste disposal is a big problem in all countries, especially affluent ones. There are numerous places which generate large amounts of food waste including hotels, restaurants, malls, residential societies, canteens, airline caterers, markets etc. A proper food waste management strategy needs to be devised for them to make sure… Continue reading
Biomass energy accounted for 13% of India’s final energy consumption in 2023. By 2030, this share is projected to rise to as much as 45%, making India one of the world’s fastest-growing biomass energy markets. According to the International Energy Agency’s projections, India will account for more than one-third of… Continue reading
