Giải thích về công nghệ biến rác thải, bùn thải thành điện, TS Hoàng Sinh Trường, Trung tâm Nghiên cứu Năng lượng mới, Đại học Bách khoa Hà Nội cho biết, phát điện từ than bùn được thực hiện theo cơ chế thu hồi khí từ bãi chôn lấp và phát điện theo cơ chế CDM (Clean Development Mechanism - cơ chế phát triển sạch). Một hệ thống nhiều ống thu khí sẽ được chôn ở độ sâu 15m để thu khí gas phát sinh từ quá trình phân hủy rác ở các ô chôn lấp.

This could very well be the magic formula for future power generation. Yes, scientists are busy crafting what is now called as “solid organic electric battery based upon treated potatoes.” These are absolutely eco-friendly batteries – based on the hidden powers of potatoes – which will be an economical answer to the growing power needs of developing and developed countries.

The federal government has just finished construction on a zero-energy office building, the nation’s largest, and is hoping that commercial developers will follow its lead.
