WTERT: May 2006–May 2007 Highlights

The Waste-To-Energy Research and Technology Council (WTERT) was co-founded in May 2002 by the Earth Engineering Center of Columbia University (EEC) and Integrated Waste Services Association (IWSA). Its mission is to direct academic research on various aspects of energy and materials recovery from municipal and other solid wastes and disseminate the findings of its research to professionals and the public. WTERT is a non-profit organization that relies heavily on faculty and graduate students who are studying various aspects of integrated waste management and waste-to-energy. The main products of WTERT research are the theses, technical publications and presentations made during the year. In all there were 14 publications, 22 presentations, and 12 posters presented by WTERT faculty and graduate students at different technical meetings and public forums. This report presents the highlights of the WTERT activities since NAWTEC 14.
