He turned garbage into gas

Turning waste into energy is no longer a novelty. The problem is that the waste treatment process often produces carbon dioxide, which is harmful to the environment. However, recently, a British company said it has developed a new technology that can help turn waste into renewable and environmentally friendly energy.

According to British energy company Plasma, waste from food, glass and paper was first put into a gasification device, where chemical reactions at high temperatures occur. Here, oxygen is separated and garbage is separated into simple molecules that are turned into artificial gas called syngas .

According to the inventors, this method is more efficient than the coal waste treatment process. In addition, syngas can be used directly for gas-powered engines. Along with the emergence of fuel cells, syngas can be an environmentally friendly fuel, and this technology also produces another product.

"When we burn something, it usually produces ash and needs to be processed," said Richard Taylor, technical director of Plasma Energy . This is a problem, however, our technology can turn ash components into an enameled material. This material is used as a product '.

According to Mr. Taylor, this product can be used in the construction industry
