Trash alternative energy for the future of electricity Network news : technology is a factor alternative that underpin the major producing countries and manufactured in the use of alternative fuels one of the most important problems that are directly related to economics first and the environment second, after the deterioration happening on a global level in the problems of the environment and the worsening state of the ozone layer and the relatively high quotient of warming , In addition to the natural decline in fuel cost and extracted large surrounding his work , keen scientists and experts on the extraction of alternative energy or alternative fuel , which is less cost-effective and less harmful to the environment. ( Network news ) in the context of this report, which was prepared for you to extract the energy and alternative fuels made from garbage, which provides electrical power : Trash on the way to a cleaner fuel industry At a distance of less than an hours drive from the center of Los Angeles is working machine the size of a small truck relentlessly pounding tons of food scraps and paper towels and other remnants of the houses on the hillside height of up to 300 feet . For a company , and not Management ( Waste Management ), which administers the site , this hill is more than just a mountain of garbage. As it extends a network of pipes beneath this hill to extract gas from rotting garbage and turn it into a power plant . With the exception of the huge machine with wheels that tamping the surface of the hill , it seems to the viewer like a normal hill . But it is devoid of unpleasant odors . But it generates enough electricity needs of 2,500 homes in Southern California . Titles may vary from garbage and trash and garbage , but the perception of waste produced by the man and of 1.6 billion tons around the world each year began to turn to mind a source of clean energy . With mounting concerns about climate change and the prices of fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas , a growing number of companies investing in ways to exploit methane gas to generate electricity for homes and cars. According to Reuters . In various parts of the ground , the landfill operated by the municipal authorities to collect and bury the waste is one of the largest sources of methane gas that increases its influence on the heat the planet 21 times the impact of carbon dioxide . Supporters say the idea that the exploitation of methane gas collected and burned to generate electricity will lead to less damage to the environment because the carbon dioxide resulting from the burning would be less damaging to the environment than methane itself. In the United States, companies such as garbage and not the Management and Allied Industries and not expanding rapidly in projects to exploit a landfill to generate electricity at the same time , the new companies are working on developing the latest technological methods for converting garbage into ethanol , gas and electricity. Says Ted Enyora director of renewable energy development company Allied West , based in Phoenix : We are able to convert this resource into a financial value for us ... This is useful in improving our income . The company generates power at 54 sites from waste dumps its subsidiaries and number 169 in the United States as it is in the process of developing an additional 16 projects . But environmentalists are not the same amount of enthusiasm for these projects, he says Nathaniel Green, director of the Renewable Energy Policy Council, the Natural Resources Defense s attempt to take advantage of the waste sites closer to : Beauty pig red lips . He adds that the man should make an effort to reduce trash . Europe generates the largest proportion of biogas or methane extracted from the waste or animal waste and other organic materials , where Germany alone represent 70 percent of the global market . In Britain , the gas extracted from waste sites represents a quarter of the renewable energy produced in the country and generates enough electricity for about 900 thousand homes . The projects began converting waste to energy spread in the developing world, where rapid growth has led to increasing the volume of urban waste , but efforts to make use of the methane gas extracted them were slower pace . In the last year, the World Bank announced an agreement to establish a network of gas collection and electricity generation in Tianjin, China , said that the chances of the spread of other similar projects in China are enormous. But in countries less developed than China should set up the infrastructure for the collection and storage of waste before the start of power generation projects . Said Henrik Harjola Managing Director of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development : some developing countries, impressed by the prospects of implementation of incineration systems . The problem usually like putting a modern facility amid forests. There is no take of maintenance work . In the United States there is technology to generate electricity from garbage since the seventies in the words of Paul Babur Deputy Prime West Management for renewable energy . Babur says that federal tax incentives introduced in 2005, and restrictions on the state level required to generate a percentage of electricity from renewable sources was a catalyst for the growth of such projects in the last period . And delivers environmentalists that burn methane to generate electricity and the best of its launch in the air , but quibble with the description landfill as resources for renewable energy . He says Green of the Board of the Natural Resources Defense : This is the best option from an environmental perspective . But it is not renewed because it is not something we can do forever . Before we begin to give incentives for the production of energy from garbage , we first need to come up with the right incentives so that we maximize the amount of recycling that we do . Despite the controversy over the extent of environmentally cleaner gas product and not the companies and Allied Management and not benefit from the growing new sources of income . He Enyora of Allied and verify that the company is not less than five percent of its revenues from sales of electricity, but evaluate each affiliate sites to determine the best ways to develop them . Enyora said that electricity produced from waste dumps an average of about five megawatts each project , which would meet the needs of four thousand homes. The Company intends to West Management, which produces electricity in a garbage dump 100 of their 280 guestrooms in the United States spend 400 million dollars over the next five years to build 60 additional station to generate electricity from methane gas . Babur, he said to produce enough gas to run the power station about his financial feasibility must be site contains a large amount of organic waste that have existed for several years. At the present time should be set up such stations in states with high electricity prices so that electricity generated from waste dumps from its rival . Finally, should be close to the transmission lines so as not to increase the cost of delivery networks for reducing potential . Last month, the company joined West Management to a growing number of companies are used in the management of waste vehicles. The company is in California to build the largest facility of its kind to convert landfill gas into liquefied natural gas for heavy-duty trucks for the conduct of its subsidiary which holds the collection of garbage. But interest in using waste to generate energy than large companies established to others. Fsharkp Zegn in Boston is working on a new company to run the first operation of its kind to generate electricity without any emissions of construction waste borne of waste sites . The company is working to convert the waste into a gas Sanjaas a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Zegn and receive financial support from companies to venture capital , including Pinnacle Ventures , and Flagship Ventures . Says Bill Davis , chief executive of the company that the gas which is produced by his company Sanjaas capable of producing greater than the energy of the gases competition without having to bury waste . Zegn hopes to attract industrial customers can run their factories Bnvayatem own technology . Davis said : We are in talks with major companies feel really concerned about the price of oil and natural gas rising . And operate GE is also developing its own technology and gas that are currently used to burn coal in a manner that best environmentally and to convert municipal waste into gas cleaner . The group maintains Sulina supported by the Spanish company Acciona facility in California for the manufacture of jet fuel from municipal waste . And the adoption of Ethanol Fuels Inc. Blovair first cellulosic ethanol plant next to the garbage dump in Lancaster , California, so that they can exploit the municipal waste . Less garbage to produce alternative energy Any product on the shelf of a typical existing one commercial markets , supermarket , can be produced at about one hundred times larger than its size trash before it reaches the consumer , according to the Forum for the Future , an environmental charity . Meet the demand for food , water , timber and fuel is causing an alarming increase in the volume of garbage produced in various parts of the world . According to estimates of the Department of Environment, Food and Urban Affairs British , it is more than half of household garbage in the country comes from the retailer , and that about 30 per cent of them dating back to the five big store chains . Says Peter Madden, Chief Executive Officer of Forum for the Future : The largest amounts of trash comes from the production and manufacture of products. Rubbish caused us a series of problems , some environmental, but not all. It has become a hot topic of garbage produced in the business community , because of mounting financial cost to get rid of them. Over the past five years has doubled the cost of garbage disposal , and poised to reach 48 pounds a tonne in the near future . And smart business sectors can achieve huge cost savings . A recent study revealed that the British manufacturing sector can provide 1 per cent of the total traffic simply , through low-cost measures to reduce the amount of garbage they produce. Madden says : things only become more expensive and more of the burden of dealing with the legal garbage , and all signs indicate that the political European Union and the governments of the United Kingdom and local governments , will turn increasingly to put procedures in place in order to reuse and resolve the dilemma . According to Reuters . Also, the garbage find echo of the consumer , and are used by businesses as a way to beat the competition . In the past year , about two-thirds of consumers think about , that the retailer must do more in order to reduce the amount of packaging materials used , according to data compiled by consulting firm Market Minatl . He continues Madden : Customers increasingly expect companies to bear the responsibility for solving these problems . Whenever produces more rubbish , it means you are not using the resources and energy in a good way , in order to deliver your products and services to the consumer , it is evidence of mismanagement . Industry experts say that the first thing companies should do is to reduce the garbage to a minimum, and then try not to produce garbage in the first place. As long as they produce less , it is imperative to think about re-use : you can become a raw material or a resource for the other hand ? The next step is recycling , and therefore can recover energy from garbage. In the case of failure in that they must throw it into the hole in the ground. The most radical efforts to reduce the volume of garbage was to adopt a system of production closed-loop , which requires the exclusion of the loss entirely of the production cycle . And chose Interface global maker of floors , this system in order to achieve a zero environmental footprint . The company is currently re- designing products and production methods , so that the recycling of waste materials in the form of new resources , and to provide feed art for the next cycle of productivity . Madden says that a very large part than you do , Unilever is the transfer of water in parts of the world , Mohsen fabrics and washing hair shampoo . Once you embark on your product editing of the material, there will be much less than the loss associated with the production . The mass production of Purcell Persil Unilever Now the center twice for the former , and the amount of packaging materials used less by 40 per cent . Turning garbage into energy field is fraught with controversy , and that the environment is not Anevkon activists oppose this type of re-use of waste. And concentrated their objections to the burning of garbage , where they say it produces toxic gases serious . Another argument is that the use of garbage as fuel , does not encourage the recycling of materials that can be recovered in a convenient way . But there are a series of new technologies that help restore energy from garbage , and avoid some of the problems of direct combustion . For example , the conversion of plasma gasification is the process of turning materials that contain the element carbon in the litter municipal solid waste , into fuel Singaz Syngas, an abbreviation for the word Synthesis Gas synthesis gas , which in turn can be burned in turbines to generate electric power, in a manner closer to the production of natural gas . This process, which uses very high temperatures , as well as panels produce chemically inert , can be used to build Kktl . There is an effective system to convert another trash -to-energy is a compilation of waste oil and turn it into bio- diesel , and used as fuel for cars. Argent Energy Company of biofuels in the UK , take a loss vegetable oil or animal fat , from sources such as food processing and product fit to repeat its use in diesel engines
