Waste to Energy
SolarBlue provides complete Waste to Energy solutions by converting waste that would be otherwise discarded into energy. We practice waste conversion through three main sources: landfill, methane extract, and biomass.
Landfill
Landfilling is the main method for disposal for municipal and household solid wastes. Increases in the amount of waste materials generated by human activity and their potentially harmful effects on the environment and public health has led to an growing awareness about a need to adopt methods for safe disposal. A good solution to the landfill gas problem is to collect it and use it to produce electricity. Besides energy creation, this method can lead to a substantial reduction in the overall waste quantities requiring final disposal.
Methane Extract
Methane gas (a byproduct of human and organic waste) is a major element of the natural gas used to fuel furnaces, power plants, and other combustion-based generators. When garbage decomposes in a landfill, it creates gas that contains methane, a reliable and renewable source of energy that when turned into energy, helps reduce the high cost of energy, greenhouse gas emissions, and our dependence on foreign oil.
Biomass
Biomass electricity is drawn from combusting or decomposing organic residue from plants and animals and is obtained primarily from harvesting and processing of agricultural and forestry crops. These by-products and waste can be utilized as fuels for producing energy instead of becoming landfill waste. Examples of biomass residues that are utilized in direct combustion power plants are: forest slash, urban wood waste, lumber waste, and agricultural wastes. The Biomass supply will never run out which makes it an ideal alternative to fossil fuels
