Waste-to-energy plants burn municipal solid waste (MSW), often called garbage or trash, to produce steam in a boiler, and the steam is used to power an electric generator turbine. This type of power plant is sometimes called a trash-to-energy, municipal waste incineration, energy recovery, or resource recovery plant. Our Waste-to-Energy facilities are designed to convert the waste into electricity for homes and businesses and/or steam for export to. . Waste-to-Energy Plants: Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plants are specialized facilities designed to generate electricity and/or heat by converting municipal solid waste (MSW), industrial waste, or other types of combustible waste materials into energy. These facilities serve a dual purpose: significantly reducing the volume of waste destined for landfills, often by up to 90%, and generating a. .
