Smelly garbage mix could power a St. Louis boiler
In St Louis a federally financed project will mix 300 tons of daily residential waste with coal to fire a boiler at Meramec Power Plant. Two thirds of the roughly 3 million cost is funded by the federal government with remaining by city and utility Union Electric. If successful 10 to 20 percent of coal may be replaced by refuse, reducing fuel costs and waste disposal.
