Israeli Gov't to finance production of energy from Trash
The Environmental Protection Ministry will be allocating NIS 70 million toward the establishment of green energy generation facilities that transform garbage into useable electricity, the ministry announced on Wednesday.
This week, ministry officials turned to industry developers, informing them that they would be offering this financial support toward building such facilities within three years time, a ministry statement said. The facilities will house advanced mechanisms in which anaerobic digestive facilities are at work, breaking down food residues into organic waste.
During the decomposition process, the bacteria will release gases that can be used to generate electricity, the ministry explained.
Production of energy in this manner reduces pollution from power plant activities and prevents land burial of many tons of waste.
