The tonnage received by the plant is reported as [[Wood Waste]] in the most recent [[Annual Sustainability Report]] for 2018-19<ref>[https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications-and-updates/biomass-sustainability-dataset-2018-19 Biomass Sustainability Dataset 2018-19]</ref>. Because the plant is an [[Advanced Conversion Technology]] and produces a [[Syngas]] the sustainability report talks in terms of the gas input to the energy recovery system, rather than the unprocessed [[Wood Waste]] into the plant, which was 305,783,697 cubic meters.
The [[Wood Waste]] is exclusively supplied by [[Welland Waste Management]] which sources much of the [[Wood Waste]] from [[Waste Disposal Authorities]].
