Waste is resource and there is a viable solution that helps to reduce emissions and landfill. Waste-to-Energy (WtE) technology for Africa offers one of the most robust and effective alternative energy recovery options at a competitive rate to fossil fuel technology to save limited resources used by traditional power plants and thus reduce energy dependence and eliminate the health hazard of waste in Africa.
