Potential GHG offset
—  GHG Emissions from Coal
—  2-3 tons CO2 per ton of coal combusted
—  For every ton of MSW processed in a plasma plant, up to
2 tons of CO2 is reduced from the atmosphere.*
—  Reduced methane emissions from not landfilling the wastes
—  Reduced CO2 from reduced coal combustion-to-electricity
Advantages
¨  Gasification Technology Performing at Atmospheric
Pressure, Elevated Temperature and High Plant Availability
¨  Capable of Utilizing Integrated Mixed Waste and/or Coal
Fines/Waste as Feed
¨  Compact and Modular
¨  Non-Polluting and Environmentally Safe
¨  High Recovery of Clean Renewable Energy as Electricity
¨  Economically Competitive
¨  Proven Technology
