Description
Description | SMART Technology Systems, LLC is planning a trash-to-power facility located on Norwich and Black Hill roads in Plainfield. The facility aims to reduce trash and emissions by converting 1,800 tons of waste into 45 megawatts of electricity daily. The process involves separating recyclables and organic residue, converting trash into low-emission synthetic gas to power a turbine, capturing biogas in an anaerobic digester, and producing renewable natural gas. The plant also liquifies carbon dioxide for sale or removal, and some leftover ash could be used for concrete or landfill cover. Despite progress in permitting, the project faces opposition from the Plainfield municipal government and residents due to concerns about traffic, health, and environmental impact. |
