From Waste to Energy
Background and problem: The idea of burning garbage is as old as humanity. But the art is to conserve the environment and resources and to produce usable energy. The waste-fueled power station (MHKW) in Magdeburg generates about 370,000 MWh of electrical energy and 350,000 MWh of district heating annually from around 650,000 t of household waste. How does the MHWK in Rothensee work? What are the opportunities and risks of such power stations? Can we talk about green electricity in this case?
Task: Explicitly discuss the subject of waste-fueled power station. Give an insight into the processes using the MHKW in Magdeburg. The main objective of this work is literature research.
