Agricultural and municipal waste can be treated as a resource rather than simply something destined for disposal. Different waste-to-energy technologies can recover useful energy from discarded materials, while some approaches can also substantially reduce the amount of waste requiring landfill space.
At Vegpro’s Naivasha facility in Kenya, 45,000 tonnes of vegetable waste were turned into biogas. The resulting methane was used to generate electricity that powered farm operations at the facility on a daily basis.
