You are probably thinking of waste dumps where methane is generated by the decay of organic matter, and where this methane is collected and used to produce electricity. Combustion engines can run directly from the methane coupled to a generator.

What are the waste of products made by the plant as energy is released?

The waste products made by plants during energy release are primarily carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). These waste products are produced through the process of photosynthesis in which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose (energy) and oxygen. The oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct, while the carbon dioxide and water are either used by the plant or released into the surroundings.
