Enerkem Alberta Biofuels

摘要

Enerkem Alberta Biofuels is the world's first commercial biorefinery that converts non-recyclable household garbage into clean, renewable energy. BBA was chosen by Enerkem for its industry expertise to provide detailed engineering for the plant. Canadians each generate an average of 1,031 kilograms of solid waste per year. From this, an average of 25%, mostly organic waste like food and cardboard, is recycled. The rest of the waste is non-recyclable and mostly dumped in landfills. Some regions incinerate the waste, but when it is deposited in landfills, it decomposes over the years and creates greenhouse gases, such as methane, along with other soil contaminants.
