This webinar provides an overview of the waste-to-energy industry in the United States and describes the prospects for future growth.
With heightened national interest in developing renewable energy sources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, communities are again looking at waste-to-energy as a critical tool to manage their solid waste. However, the ability of waste-to-energy facilities to thrive will rely in large part on how legislators and regulators treat waste. In this session, we take an in-depth look at federal legislation and regulations currently under consideration, and examine what potential impacts they will have on waste-to-energy.
This is the third in a 3-part series on "Waste-To-Energy", co-partnered with the AIChE Sustainable Engineering Forum. Please note that each webinar in the series requires separate registration, and has been designed to function as both a standalone presentation and a component in the series.

Dr. Marco J. Castaldi
Marco J. Castaldi is an Assistant Professor in the Earth & Environmental Engineering Department, Henry Krumb School of Mines, at Columbia University. He teaches in the area of combustion chemistry and processes. He is currently involved in research in environmentally benign energy technologies, some of which are being patented by Columbia, including waste to energy, greenhouse gas reforming, methane production from methane hydrates and hydrogen production from coal.
Marco has a number of inventions as a result of his research, supported by 6 issued and 2 pending US patents. One innovation makes catalytically assisted combustion in gas turbines practically feasible. The other inventions relate to the development of Water Gas Shift and Preferential CO oxidation reactors for fuel processing applications related to fuel cell engines.
Marco received his B.S. ChE from Manhattan College. His Ph.D. is in Chemical Engineering from UCLA and he has minors in Advanced Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics. Marco is the recipient of the 2006 Columbia University, SEAS Distinguished Faculty Teaching Award, and was recently nominated for the Camille Dreyfus Teachers-Scholars Award and the New York Academy of Sciences Blavatnik Award.
