New Planet Energy is progressing a $700m facility that plans to turn upwards of 4,500 tonnes of rubbish a day from municipalities in Florida and Westchester, among others, into “solid recovered fuel” and sulphur-free diesel fuel. The plant uses gasification via a steam reformation system and could produce as much as 20 million gallons of diesel fuel a year. New Planet Energy is aiming to recycle at least 86.5% of the materials that enter the facility, which otherwise would be destined for landfill.
