“ It has been noteworthy that , despite very tough financial and operating conditions for E . ON at large , the commitment to Technology and Innovation has prevailed ,” Youngman said
incineration plants in Germany had been reduced from 400g to less than . 5g — a thousandth of what it once was . EEW is quick to note the impressive nature of this feat , seeing as the capacity for waste incineration had doubled since 1985 . EEW is sorely focused on the disposal of waste in an environmentally friendly capacity .
EEW utilizes two different methods to convert waste to energy : municipal solid waste incineration ( msWI ) and mechanical biological treatment ( MBT ).
EEW claims that msWI results in a 90 percent reduction of waste , with the residual 10 percent being recycled . The energy produced during this process is used for electrical power , heating , and process steam .
While msWI is relatively traditional in its processes , MBT is a bit more unusual and innovative , using a biological approach to reduce waste . The waste reduction is limited to only around 30 percent ; however , the anaerobic method of MBT leads to the production of biogas , which can
