Southern Alberta Advances Energy-from-Waste Initiative

December 24, 2024 - 04:37

A southern Alberta coalition is making significant strides in its mission to reduce household waste sent to landfills. The Southern Alberta Energy from Waste Association (SAEWA), which encompasses 34 municipalities, has chosen Global Green Energy Group as its long-term partner after evaluating three potential candidates.

Global Green, a subsidiary of Singapore-based Global Green International Investments, employs an innovative modular pyrolysis technology. This advanced process involves heating waste materials at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen, effectively breaking them down into valuable byproducts such as biofuels and syngas. The technology not only mitigates the environmental impact of waste disposal but also contributes to the generation of renewable energy.

The partnership is expected to enhance sustainability efforts across the region, aligning with broader environmental goals. As the project progresses, it aims to set a precedent for similar initiatives in other areas, showcasing the potential of energy-from-waste technologies in addressing the growing challenges of waste management and energy production.
