Here is how it works; The waste is collected, processed in a factory and turned into a fuel
Pellets as Fuel called pellets, that are 8mm x 4cm in size and can be burned in stoves, boilers in homes
and buildings and also in power stations to produce electricity and steam.

And this pellet fuel is also green and carbon neutral. You may ask how? After all, when
you burn it, you will release CO2 to the atmosphere. But when you think about it, the plants
that you are burning have grown by photosynthesis, converting the CO2 in the atmosphere
into O2 and Carbon. The carbon they produce is used by the plants as energy to grow and
the Oxygen is release into the atmosphere. The burning of the pellets does not release any
additional CO2 into the atmosphere like when we burn coal or oil. It is called a “closed-
loop” or “circular” system.
