Waste-to-Energy (WTE) plants are facilities designed to generate energy in the form of electricity and/or heat from the primary treatment of waste or the processing of waste into a fuel source. Within the context of biofuels, WTE plants contribute to the renewable energy sector by converting organic waste materials such as municipal solid waste, agricultural byproducts, and other biological matter into biofuels. These biofuels come in various forms, including biogas, biodiesel, or ethanol, which can be used for transportation, heating, and powering industrial processes. The conversion technologies employed at WTE plants include combustion, anaerobic digestion, gasification, and pyrolysis, each with different efficiencies and environmental impacts. The integration of WTE plants into waste management and energy production strategies helps in reducing reliance on landfills, cutting down methane emissions from decaying waste, and facilitating the transition towards a circular economy. Several companies operate in the Waste to Energy Plants market within the space of biofuels. Notable examples include Covanta Holding Corporation, which specializes in the conversion of municipal and industrial waste into renewable energy. Veolia is another industry leader that offers a range of services from waste collection to the operation of WTE facilities.
