Waste to Energy

Would be nice to use waste in more than just dumping it into a pile and calling it a day.

There is research that lets you burn waste. I don't know if it creates energy. It should if it doesn't now.

It still doesn't, it's a classic burner. They should add a burner with water entry that allow to create steam.

Sweden imports garbage from the UK by ship to burn for electrical energy and town heating water.

Hi, I think it would be great to use waste as an energy source same as biomass. Right now you can just dump it (takes up space) or burn it for pollution. Sad that you CAN'T clean it up or use the exhaust scrubber on the waste... It creates a lot of pollution in the late game when you are starting to run out of space and you have no other option than to burn it.

At least have some more option to use waste than to burn it... To get energy or use exhaust scrubber, that would be great.

I know you can minimize waste, with biomass and recyclables collection but you can never get it to zero.

Thanks!

This is now in the game so someone should mark it as such.
