Waste-to-Energy Options for Wood

When wood waste cannot be reused or recycled, waste-to-energy (WTE) solutions provide an environmentally responsible alternative to landfill disposal. Converting wood into energy through combustion or gasification reduces waste volume and generates heat or electricity for industrial and municipal applications. This resource explains how WTE works, its benefits, and key considerations for implementing wood-to-energy programs.

What you’ll learn in this resource:

• How waste-to-energy processes convert wood into usable energy
• Common technologies: direct combustion, gasification, and biomass boilers
• Environmental and economic benefits of WTE for wood waste
• Steps for partnering with WTE facilities or setting up on-site systems

FAQs

What is waste-to-energy for wood?
It’s the process of converting wood waste into heat or electricity through controlled combustion or advanced thermal technologies.

Is WTE environmentally friendly?
Yes—when properly managed, WTE reduces landfill waste and offsets fossil fuel use, though emissions controls are essential.
