Plainfield Trash-to-Energy Plant

planned

SMART Technology Systems plans to build a waste processing facility in Plainfield, Connecticut, that converts 1,800 tons of waste daily into 45 megawatts of electricity and other sellable products. The facility uses a bulk handling system to separate recyclables and organic residue, converts remaining trash into low-emission synthetic gas to power a turbine, and processes biogas to create renewable natural gas and liquefied carbon dioxide. The project aims to reduce trash and emissions while generating tax revenue for Plainfield.
