The machine is very useful for office parks, universities, hospitals and town municipality which could get their electricity from their own garbage disposal. A major factor is reduced costs from garbage disposal and as well reduced CO2 emissions from combustion. The machine does pollute as it's using a process called gasification but not as much as combustion.
