Waste-to-energy or energy-from-waste is the process of generating energy in the form of electricity or heat from the primary treatment of waste. Waste-to-Energy is a form of energy recovery. One way to generate electricity is to burn solid waste, like the material found in landfills. Most Waste-to-Energy processes produce electricity or heat directly through combustion, or produce a combustible fuel commodity, such as methane, methanol, ethanol or synthetic fuels.
