The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) threw all-out support to the establishment of a 25-kilowatt (kW) waste-to-energy (WTE) facility in Los Baños, Laguna, citing the “rapidly increasing” waste generation in the country.
DOST Secretary Fortunato “Boy” T. de la Peña graced the opening of the WTE facility which uses a direct combustion process for municipal solid waste.
“DOST supported the establishment of the 25kW Waste-To-Energy (WTE) Facility using a direct combustion process for municipal solid waste as a possible solution to ever-increasing municipal solid waste production in the country,” he said in a Facebook post on Friday night, Oct. 22. (DOST)
