How is the GEMTM different from wind and solar energy alternatives?
While wind and solar processes are reliable energy sources, neither helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, the GEMTM creates clean energy and further benefits the environment by substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions that occur through transporting and dumping waste, including reducing the use of trucks and lowering the amount of garbage that is emitting greenhouse gases as it decays in landfills. Additionally, the financials are better with the GEMTM because it reduces energy costs and waste disposal costs. The average payback period for the GEMTM is 3-4 years, compared with 4-7 years for wind turbines and up to 10 years for solar. 22. Is downdraft gasification the same as incineration (burning), and haven’t many municipalities banned incineration (burning) as a means of processing trash? How is downdraft gasification different from plasma, pyrolysis and fluidized bed gasification? · Downdraft gasification uses high heat to decompose trash in a controlled proc
