Waste-to-energy (WtE) or energy-from-waste (EfW) is the process of generating energy in the form of electricity and/or heat from the primary treatment of waste, or the processing of waste into a fuel source. There is increasing recognition that biomass in the form of wood, agricultural residues and other organic materials is a vital component of the renewable energy mix. The requirement to minimise material sent to landfills, even after recycling, creates opportunities to use resources more efficiently as an energy source. Material that previously would have been thought of as waste is increasingly being viewed as an important energy source.
Many different technologies exist for processing and extracting energy, both heat and power, from biologically derived material.
