Energy from Garbage

- Using refuse (wet and dry) as an energy source. Incineration of garbage is discussed. Importance of sorting and recycling and how this has impacted incineration of waste. Visit to the University of Illinois’s trash recycling center. Recycling of plastic, paper, cardboard and aluminum and other metals are all shown and their economics discussed. The amount of paper and other products produced over time is explained. Where the waste is taken for landfilling and how it gets there. Answer to why not just burn what is left over.
I've learned more from EnergyProf videos than from years of trying to read about energy production. Feel like I should be paying tuition. Hope he makes more videos in 2020.
Yep tw I I a severing I cry gaucho
I really enjoy this videos. Why do they have so few views. This needs to be viral
A bit longer than your regular videos, but I got to say it was nicely in depth. I appreciate hearing the real economics of this!

That is fantastic that those fine men are doing this honourable work.
I wish the inside of the recycling plant was more workerfriendly. Add some bright colors, instead of that dead steel and grey goo.
I kind of like the colors as they are. Cool grays and such. However, most of those walls look like they are painted white but just dirty. You can see clean spots here and there.
That university is still generating an insane amount of paper waste
Palm Beach County Florida built a new garbage burning plant in 2014.
I learn a lot from these video's and I'm grateful for that, but I do wish he would stop touching the interviewees.
So, the last WTE plant was built 1995, with technology from 1990. Maybe you should, in this particular case, check out Sweden. Don't hate me, we're not the best. But in the case of minimizing uncontrolled decomposition and leching from landfills, sorting waste and burning what's left with good economy, we just might have someting to teach.
Renewable Natural Gas RNG is mainstream. UPS purchased 170 million gallons last year for transportation. Waste Management electrified 2 million homes last year and growth is exponential. Clean Energy Fuels is the largest seller of RNG under it's Redeem brand. Dairy digesters are growing exponentially in California and the RNG produced is 200% cleaner than conventional fuels. Over half of all garbage trucks in the USA are run on RNG. Clean Energy Fuels sells Redeem for $1 per gallon equivalent with a 5 year forward contact. RNG can be piped through existing pipelines for delivery.
great video!
i wanna know , were those really your 30 yeas of files?
You glossed over the problems in the plastic recycling "industry" very quickly. Almost no plastic is recycled, because the economics are all wrong. There's a handful that are, something like 5-10%, but the rest isn't. I think the best we can hope for there is to gassify it, burn the volatiles, and bury the rest. Maybe some advances in thermal depolymerization could help here, but that seems a ways off.
You glossed over sewage too quickly. Biogas digesters are the way to convert that into fuel. It is happening all over the world, even in USA.
Tom Kelly WTU-100 can do this as well! And, what do you want? Hydrogen? #99 diesel? Fertilizer? Energy? Carbon production? (Carbon black/activated carbon/ Nano carbon materials) Medical grade water?
The time to be alive is great, there’s so many doing so much!
He's got a separate video on sewage treatment.
Problems R' Us.
Waste conversion technology can already do this with no emissions
I heard we can turn trash into graphene
Wet solids = Biogas
Burn it. You can burn all your hair and burn it
I am going to have a fit
