Waste to Energy

Season 9 Episode 9

Beyond incinerators, “waste to energy” now means capturing methane, or natural gas, from landfills. It can also mean using digesters and gasifiers to make methane, compost and biochar, while redirecting waste streams and creating jobs. We discuss this with Julia Levin, who runs the Bioenergy Association of California, and Christine McKiernan, Head Technical Officer for SJI Renewable Energy.
