The war on coal and other greenhouse-gas producing fuels has intensified over the past decade. Emissions thresholds and prohibitions against construction of new coal-fired power plants have expedited the search for alternative energy sources that are renewable and sustainable.

For years biofuels research has focused on effectively converting biomass into usable liquid and gaseous fuels. Switchgrass, algae, wood, corn, food waste, textile waste and sewage sludge are just a few of the biomass materials that have been tested and/or processed commercially into fuel. But missing from this list is the one carbon-rich, biomass source produced daily in almost every home around the world – household garbage, or municipal solid waste.
