麻省理工學院（MIT）工程師普里延卡?巴卡雅的垃圾轉換能源試點項目終于得到了回報。巴卡雅目前在猶他州鹽湖城經營一家商業生產工廠，與猶他州最大的回收商Rocky Mountain Recycling合作。工廠每天可將20,000噸不可回收的塑料轉換成60桶石油——全部零排放。而且，這項事業所需成本很少，這意味著令人興奮的利潤：工廠生產一桶油的成本在25至30美元之間，賣給當地精煉廠的價格是100美元。這個項目目前已經引起了綠色能源投資者的關注?！斉晾?阿羅拉???

The MIT engineer's waste to energy pilot projects paid off. Bakaya is now operating a commercial plant in Salt Lake City, Utah, working with the state's largest recycler, Rocky Mountain Recycling. The plant can convert 20,000 pounds of non-recycled plastic to 60 barrels of oil per day—all with zero emissions. And she is doing it at a fraction of the cost, which means heady margins: A barrel produced at $25 to $30 at the plant is sold to local refineries for $100.
