Alternative Energy Forums

Recently, in the last half of 2009, there were two announcements from the Caribbean about a company called Wastaway (http://www.wastaway.com) that had installed a new system in Aruba and was chosen as the front-end technology for RDF to generate electricity in the US Virgin Islands. The venture in the USVI is being headed by Alpine Energy Group out of Denver, CO (USA) (http://www.alpineenergygroup.com). Wastaway's website has some good information about the process, but like all patented technology they don't give much away.

It looks especially good for islands or locations where land for landfills is scarce. From what I can learn about Alpine Energy Group, they are well financed and have some real expertise and I doubt they would pick a technology that wasn't proven. The wastaway technology looks very promising and apparently others think so too. I saw it on a documentary produced in 2007 called "Addicted to Plastic" that was shown recently on TV. It featured the company process as a promising solution to waste. How many other people know about Wastaway?
