Refuse derived fuel (RDF)
It was a historical moment for Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA, when, after successful project development conducted by VEDCO Energy Corp., BCH Energy signed the construction contract for a waste-to-energy plant. BCH Energy (named after three counties Bladen, Cumberland and Hoke, supplying waste to the plant) was formed as the owner and operator of the plant. When the plant commences operation in the beginning of 1995 it will be the most modern waste recovery facility in the world, providing clean and inexpensive energy as well as recyling of valuable materials. Radically reduced air emissions and a solution to state requirements of recycling the amount of waste now going to landfills are among the greatest benefits to the citizens of the three counties. For one of Fayetteville`s major industries, DuPont, the new plant will also result in a reliable, cost effective source of power and process steam supply.
