Fuel Cell - An electrochemical device in which hydrogen is combined with oxygen to produce electricity with heat and water vapor as by products. Natural gas is often used as the source of hydrogen with air as the source of oxygen.
Fuel Cell: an electrochemical device that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, with water and heat as its by-product. When used to power vehicles, the heat propels the vehicle; the water is released in the form of water vapor.
Fuel cell - a technology that uses an electrochemical process to convert energy into electrical power. Often powered by natural gas, fuel cell power is cleaner than grid-connected power sources. In addition, hot water is produced as a by-product.

REFUSE DERIVED FUEL (RDF) Fuel produced by separating, shredding and processing mixed wastes.
REFUSE RECLAMATION Transformation of solid waste into useful products, such as soil conditioners or recycled materials.
Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF): product of a mixed waste processing system in which certain recyclable and non-combustible materials are removed, and the remaining combustible material is converted for use as a fuel to create energy.
Alternative Energy Typically environmentally friendly energy from a source other than the conventional fossil-fuel sources of oil, natural gas and coal. These include wind, water and sun.
