Pyrolysis and gasification are indeed thermal treatment technologies used in Waste-to-Energy processes. Pyrolysis involves decomposing organic materials at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen, while gasification converts organic materials into carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide at high temperatures with a controlled amount of oxygen.
Biogas production from organic waste is a biological treatment technology. It involves the anaerobic digestion of organic matter by bacteria to produce biogas, which mainly consists of methane.
Waste-to-Energy plants can process both biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. Non-recyclable dry waste, such as low-grade plastics and rags, can also be used to generate energy (Statement 3 is incorrect)
