The American Chemistry Council (ACC) and University of Texas at Austin have released a study reaffirming the value of everyday waste as a clean, abundant, affordable source of domestic energy.
The study, completed by Michael Webber, Ph.D, and his team of university researchers, demonstrated that fuel engineered from non-recycled plastics and other materials could successfully power a cement kiln located in Texas. The research showed that fuel engineered from waste could serve as valuable fuel for not only cement kilns, but potentially for other energy intensive commercial and industrial operations.
