The present invention is an advanced co-generation system for abating solid wastes, hydrocarbons and other volatile organic compounds (VOC's) produced by various processes utilizing a Stirling cycle engine, turbines or other internal combustion engines doing useful work. The turbine exhaust is directed into an abatement chamber which may include a catalyst that is designed to operate at high temperature and includes supplementary fuel and air inputs which are controlled by a computer that receives sensor inputs to achieve the requisite heat ranges necessary to convert exhaust and VOC's to non-toxic substances. The exhaust generated by the abatement chamber is directed to a Stirling cycle engine for additional heat generation and recovery. The exhaust generated from this process can also be used to perform direct or indirect heating.
