The Recovered Energy System™
EXTRACTING ENERGY FROM WASTE WITHOUT COMBUSTION

DISCUSSION ON

POWER PLANTS

 The power generated by a fossil fuel power plant is generated by combusting the fuel to form heat. The heat fires a boiler, which produces steam. The steam drives a steam turbine to produce electricity at an efficiency of around 25%. That means that significant amounts of potential energy from the fuel is wasted and lost. When the carbon in the fuel is combusted it combines with oxygen to form huge amounts of carbon dioxide. Nitrous oxides (NOX), volatile organic compounds (VOC's) and other gases are also formed in large quantities. These gases contribute to global warming.

Hydroelectric plants do not have significant air emissions but they pose other problems. Some dams are necessary for flood control, to provide a stable source of water for agriculture and for recreation. However, hydroelectric plants are a threat to fisheries and there is a limit to how many our rivers can support.

Fossil fuel, hydropower and nuclear plants currently provide most of the world's electricity. The world recognizes that the production of power from traditional technologies causes serious negative environmental consequences and that they are depleting our natural resources and won't last forever. Governments around the world are demanding industry to produce more power from renewable energy sources. Quotas have been established, incentives have been offered and grants have been provided to help develop plants to produce power from wind, solar, geothermal and waste sources. Wind, solar and geothermal power is too expensive and not always practical or available. Incinerators were built to convert waste into energy in an inefficient manner.

The Recovered Energy System™ represents an economically viable way to convert waste into electricity without any of the negative environmental impacts of other technologies. Waste is readily available in every community. The waste in most communities can provide up to 1/3 of the community's total power requirements. The Recovered Energy System™ does not contribute to the greenhouse effect and utilizes a renewable energy source that will always exist.
