Can I use my trash for power?

    There is a way that your everyday trash can be turned into power. At a gasification facility the cook garbage to produce a gas, which produces energy. It is similar to incineration but burns the trash much hotter (some using plasma tourch technology) and the moisture and gas released is then used to power turbines and created electricity.

    Another way that trash is producing energy is through the methane gas that decomposing trash releases. These gases are captured, preventing both odor and green house emissions. The gas is treated so it can be used for electricity, or it is refined and used as pipeline grade gas.
