Covanta and Global build biodiesel pilot
Covanta, a US company which incinerates municipal solid waste to generate electricity, and its partner Global Energy have completed construction of a commercial pilot municipal solid waste to diesel plant in the US.
The two companies signed a contract to set up the plant two and a half years ago.
Covanta will operate hundreds of facilities, which will use Global Energy's KDV technology for converting municipal solid waste into biofuel.
Covanta will operate for Global Energy a commercial pilot of the technology, which will produce 500 litres of fuel per hour. Within six to 12 months, the pilot should tell Covanta whether the technology is commercially viable.
