Heart Failure
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), more than 5 million people in the United States suffer from
heart failure, costing the nation nearly $32 billion to treat each
process integrates with landfill
operators’ existing systems
and how we can scale the
process to serve a large
facility,” said Kuhn.
So far, Trash 2 Cash-Energy has seen
industry interest because of the
estimated rate of return of its process as
compared to the traditional method;
producing electricity with landfill gas
generates a 15 percent ROI, while Trash
2 Cash-Energy reports over a 20 percent
ROI on the use of its converted liquid fuel.
The Trash 2 Cash-Energy process requires
a higher capital investment, so the
system would likely work best for larger
landfill facilities that can absorb the upfront cost and reap the ongoing ROI.
“Our next step is to build a demonstration
unit at an existing landfill or a traveling
proof-of-concept model that we can
take to different facilities across the
country,” said Kuhn.
