Engineering 103 Group 1: Environmental Aspects of Trash Incineration

For our ENGR 103 project, we will be looking into the Swedish Trash Incineration programs. The country generates large amounts of electricity from this process and even imports trash to keep up with demands. We will research the environmental effects of this process as well as the environmental aspects of transporting trash into the country. If our research shows that the incineration of trash is more environmentally friendly than the use of landfills, we will look into its use in Philadelphia.
