    Municipal solid waste has the potential to meet at least 20% of household energy needs through waste-to-energy systems like CHO-Power. On average in the European Union, waste per capita is 510 kg, with 54% of that being a residual fraction that can be used for energy, while in North America the average is 760 kg with 58% as a residual fraction. Current waste-to-energy technologies could generate enough electricity from municipal solid waste to cover about 24% of household needs in the EU and 22% in North America.
