Trash power - Energy from Waste & Garbage

Reynolds, a town 20 miles north of Lafayette, is aiming at generating its own electricity and gas, using everything from municipal trash to farm waste, hog manure and even town sewage.

The project will have a facility that turns garbage into electricity. The project could become part of the solution to two of the country’s biggest challenges: Disposing of garbage and reducing America’s reliance on fossil fuels for energy.

The equipment at the BioTown technology center in Reynolds includes an anaerobic digester, gasifier and fast pyrolysis, which will create syngas, bio-oil and fertilizer.
