Power from garbage

The Waste-to-Energy company of Amsterdam, AEB, has the biggest power plant in the world that runs entirely on waste. What?s more; AEB claims it?s the best of its kind because it gets nearly 50% more energy out of the waste than it?s competition.
All Amsterdam trams run on ?garbage power?, all street lighting burns on it, and even the electricity of public buildings is waste-generated. Because no fossil fuel like coal or gas is needed for the production of all this power, the plant substantially reduces the CO2 emissions of Amsterdam; 350.000 tonnes annually.
