Abstract:

This first-ever waste to energy WTE workshop gathered Army environmental and energy subject matter experts to explore WTE at the installation and forward operating level. Historically, the Army environmental community has focused on solid waste disposal and the energy community on energy efficiency and power delivery, with no orchestrated integration of the two. The Energy Branch of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory has been investigating WTE opportunities, and has found little Army analysis on WTE system providers many claims. The goals of this workshop were to share information, spread visibility on current efforts, explore the potential of WTE technologies for military installations, and potentially launch working groups to further implementation of installation WTE technologies. The Army has many requirements, goals, and recommendations applicable to DoD installations, facilities, and energy. WTE technologies are being developed for deployed forces, and have been used somewhat at fixed installations. Studies have focused on the types, amounts, and burdened costs of battlefield wastes, but less so on installation waste streams. Workshop participants concluded that greater use or development of WTE technologies may help fixed installations meet requirements and goals, but data is lacking to adequately characterize the potential.
