The purpose of the InsightMaker model is to model how Waste-to-Energy (WtE) technology impacts waste management efficiency, energy output and greenhouse gas emissions for the scale of ten years (assuming the WtE technology integration in an urban setting). This will determine if WtE has the capability of minimizing the reliance on waste landfills as well as assisting reaching renewable energy targets. This model will shine light on Waste-to-Energy sustainability opportunities and challenges.
Orange variables are associated with calculating waste volume, green variables are associated with calculating energy generation.
