Plastics Help Deliver Alternative Energy

Rising oil prices and increased concern over shortages in the Middle East have more and more people looking to alternative energy sources, such as wind power. And plastics play an important role in the design behind this technology. Many of the blades used on wind turbines are made of fibreglass-reinforced …

Opportunities for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions through Residential Waste Management

All human activities have an environmental impact. In particular, the way we choose to manage our residential solid wastes has a direct impact on the generation of methane, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHG) linked to global warming and climate change. This report provides decisionmakers with a quantitative, comparative …

The Gasification of residual plastics derived from municipal recycling facilities

over 50 years. The process involves the conversion of materials having Carbon and Hydrogen in their chemical structure into clean synthesis gas, “syngas”, a mixture of Hydrogen (H2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO). “Syngas” can be used as a source of energy for combustion processes used to generate electricity (gas turbine …
