South korea has opened the largest garbage-fuelled power plant in the world and expects to reduce annual imports of heavy oil by 500,000 barrels as a result.
The 50-megawatt plant, designed to provide power to more than 180,000 households, has been constructed on top of a mammoth garbage dump in the city of Incheon, west of Seoul.
\"It reduces grenhouse gas emissions by burning away methane and avoids burning more fossil fuel for electricity,\" said Park Han-Eop of the ministry's waste treatment division.
