Environmental Solutions Company Developing Environmentally Sustainable Integrated Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste Management Projects and Programs
Fourth State Energy delivers clean, renewable, and environmentally sustainable energy from waste. Our Integrated Solid Waste Management Program offers solutions for stakeholders looking for an alternative to active landfilling and/or incineration. It provides for the safe, environmentally sustainable processing of hazardous waste such as incineration ashes, bio-medical wastes, and other contaminated materials. Closing active landfills drastically reduces harmful greenhouse gas emissions continuously escaping into the atmosphere from landfills.

What We Do
FSE takes traditional waste management programs in which over 70% of waste resources are dumped into landfills, creating environmental impacts harmful to climate change and future generations

and we invert your outcomes to maximize the environmental sustainability of your solid waste program, increasing reuse and recycling, and using the remaining active resources to produce clean renewable energy so that you are left with less than 5% of inert materials that can be safely managed.

How We Do It
FSE believes very strongly that the implementation of a successful program solution depends on knowing the environment, stakeholders, existing situation, and desired outcomes. That is why we always start with meetings to understand objectives, and studies to fully understand where the program is and how to evolve it to where it is desired to go. We then work closely with the stakeholder to achieve their objectives.

Waste-to-Energy
FSE’s advanced thermal conversion of waste destined for landfills creates clean renewable energy from otherwise wasted resources:
- FSE’s innovative resources processing methodology creates an optimized, measured, consistent, and homogenous blend of residual derived fuel (RDF) for thermal conversion.
- This optimized consistent RDF blend is then thermally converted into a polished synthetic gas.
- The polished syngas is then used to fuel generators to produce clean renewable energy.
- The FSE facilities are 2-3 times more energy efficient than incineration.
- More importantly, processing waste significantly reduces harmful methane greenhouse gases that continuously escape into the atmosphere from landfills.


Hazardous Waste & Contaminated Site Materials Processing
FSE’s hazardous waste facilities process a variety of hazardous materials:
- The process utilizes high-temperature plasma-fueled furnaces to turn hazardous materials into molten slag.
- The slag is then cooled and broken up as inert safe glass like rock slag.
- The slag can be marketed safely for civil engineering projects like roadbeds and railway-beds.
- The technology and process has been commercially operational for over 25 years.
- This is a proven, environmentally sustainable and safe alternative to burying the materials, which poses significant environmental risks and leaves the sites for future generations to deal with.
Global Initiatives
FSE is an international company actively working in several global regions developing integrated solid waste management solutions and programs:
- Environmentally sustainable solid waste management has been identified as a critical priority for many jurisdictions.
- Landfills represent ongoing negative environmental, health, and safety issues.
- FSE develops unique program solutions for stakeholders to achieve their solid waste management program objectives.
- FSE’s programs significantly improve solid waste environmental footprints.
- FSE also develops hazardous waste processing facilities for incineration plant ash residues that otherwise would have to go to hazardous waste landfills.
- FSE’s hazmat processing can also deal with asbestos, contaminated sludges, soils, mine tailings, etc.
- FSE’s program solutions make for a better environment for future generations.
- FSE’s programs can have a dramatic impact on climate change initiatives.
