~= "We are using incinerated waste. In summer the incinerator is the main source of hot water for the city. At the same time we're producing electricity."
They do have a couple of charging ports at the teplárny near me, but I don't know how much electricity they produce.
- akiselev 3y agoYeah modern incineration is a totally different beast with flue gas cleaning systems [1]. Before wet scrubbers [2] and some other clean air technology reached mass production - largely in the 70s iirc, because of EPA & California Air Resources Board pressure on coal power plants - incineration was a much dirtier way of disposing of trash.
