Local Economic Benefits
The supply of a municipal waste to energy plant for most communities, on a turnkey basis will provide many benefits. The plant will operate independently and, by recovering the latent energy contained within the community’s waste products, will satisfy some or potentially in the future, all of the energy demands for the community. The plant’s energy versatility allows the operators to use any local energy resources and thereby, reduce the dependency on more expensive sources of fuel. The plant’s size and technology ensures that all environmental considerations are met while dramatically reducing, or eliminating altogether, the need for traditional landfills
The Dynamis Waste to Energy plant will generate and provide obvious economic benefits, including:
- The waste to energy plant will produce permanent and temporary employment during the initial construction and operation periods.
- Provide an economic solution to the ever-increasing municipal, industrial and, especially medical waste discharge needs, jointly with the production of substantial electric power, necessary for the city and the region development, all at a rate comparable to the present real cost of energy production
- Provide a nucleus of economic activity around a new power source, which can be a powerful tool for economic development.
- Reduce the local or national dependency on more expensive and/or foreign sources of energy, and, simultaneously, increase the value-added potential of the domestic or regional agricultural, food processing and other industries by using agricultural and urban waste.
- Minimizing or eliminating, waste disposal problems and costs by using the residual ash for production of cement products. A small concrete plant could be added to the project and used to produce cement blocks. Other recapture and sales of recyclables is possible as well.
- Elimination of long term ground water contamination from traditional landfill use
- Can be used in connections with recycling initiatives or, alternatively the units can use plastic, rubber, paper and wood waste products to maximize energy recovery.
