Is this application really cost efficient?

We believe that the Westinghouse Plasma Gasification Technology will play a significant role in China Clean Coal Applications.

To reduce waste, especially hazardous material, it makes a lot of sense both short term and long. But how long is the return on investment for the same type of plant which would use coal input instead of waste products? How much energy would they get from a ton of coal? Turning a ton of hazardous material into energy, with only a few pounds of hazardous waste left over sound great. Eliminates a lot of trouble and well worth the cost.

Will they really get to a cost efficient process using coal as the input source?

In China and many other countries, incinerator ash is considered a hazardous waste which is a growing, expensive problem that requires special treatment which can cost up to $USD300 per tonne.
