Watogy: Generating Renewable Energy from Waste, Where Sustainability and Savings Intersect

Dr. Todd Schmiedeler, Senior Vice President Business Development, ZrO Waste Group

Abstract:

Watogy's innovative waste-to-energy technology revolutionizes onsite energy generation and waste management, enabling companies to achieve zero landfill, destroy PFAS, and generate renewable energy from their MSW, biomass, and agricultural waste streams. We will show examples of how converting waste into renewable energy, companies can not only reduce their environmental footprint but also gain energy independence and potentially generate revenue from excess electricity production.
