Successfully manufactured electricity from domestic waste

Japan's Shimizu Construction Company has successfully developed a waste-to-energy generator at home to provide office buildings.

The company will evaluate and verify its ability to generate electricity from junk fuel and set a target for use in practice by 2013.

Garbage can also become a fuel for electricity generation.

The new equipment will first dry fresh garbage (food waste) and mix it with dry waste (such as paper and garbage), then burn the fuel under no oxygen conditions to produce gas. recycle biomass and burn this gas to generate electricity by gas engine.

This is the first home-based electricity generation system using waste fuel.

Up to now, office buildings in Japanese cities have been entrusted to garbage disposal businesses in suburban garbage disposal facilities for the cost of about 20,000 liters yen / ton (about 250 USD).

If the new generator is used, it can be reused as the energy source to run the building's air conditioning and lighting system.
