Electricity from Solid Waste

Back

FS Green WE units are engineered to convert municipal and organic solid waste into clean electrical power. By replacing outdated thermal treatment methods, these installations deliver high-efficiency energy generation without combustion, smoke, or ash residues.

At the core of each FS Green WE unit is plasma gasification using a graphite electrode matrix, which sustains a cold-plasma zone at up to 2400 °C. This environment fully breaks down the waste’s molecular bonds, forming a high-calorific gas mixture that is then converted—through turbines or fuel cells—into electricity.

Key Advantages

Generation of electricity without combustion or particulate emissions

Zero release of toxic substances into the atmosphere

Rapid commissioning, modular assembly, and straightforward scalability

Reduction of feedstock
to just 5–10% inert residue
