Submission + - Convert Trash Into Energy With No Pollution
happylucky writes: Remember when Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) dumped some garbage into his engine for fuel in Back
to the Future II? Startech Environmental
Corporation has come up with a similar process that can take both hazardous
and non-hazardous waste and convert it into energy, glass and hydrogen.
They use a plasma process that doesnt burn the garbage but breaks the molecules down into their individual elements (atoms). It is a safe process that involves a closed-loop system so no pollutants are released into the environment. All of it is converted into a safe material.
The company says that it will convert all hazardous waste, except nuclear waste, into an obsidian-like glass and hydrogen. The technology could potentially solve two problems at one time. It could help us solve our energy problem and our landfill problem.
