- Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is 468 million tons per year (MTPY) in the U.S. and Industrial Waste is five to ten times larger than that
- Nationally, more than 50% of electrical demand could be generated from Industrial and Municipal Solid Wastes with AST’s process
- If all MSW in the US were converted utilizing the AST process, 5000 reactors would be required for a potential market size of $500 billion
- Add the other waste streams and increase the market to the rest of the world, and these figures multiply many times over
