Plasma gasification is the next generation in thermal treatment of waste, including household waste, commercial waste, industrial waste and even common hazardous waste. It is both cleaner and more energy efficient than alternatives such as landfills (with and without gas capture) and incineration. Alter NRG is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this opportunity with commercial facilities operating for more than seven years.

WTE helps turn a waste management problem into an energy generating solution.

The overall impact is sustainable and clean energy (reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and landfills) which is economically viable.

Alter NRG’s plasma technology vaporizes waste while generating synthesis gas (syngas), which can displace natural gas requirements or be used as a building block to create:

• Steam
• Power
• Liquids fuels such as ethanol
