The Levenseat facility comprises a [[MRF]] and the adjacent [[Levenseat EfW]] facility which is based upon [[Gasification]] technology. [[Levenseat EfW Phase 2]] is the second phase of the [[EfW]] development which is adjacent to the current facility. The capacity is reported as 42 tonnes per hour through the [[MRF]] (or around 215,000 tonnes per annum) producing [[RDF]] for the adjacent [[EfW]] plant of around 100,000 tonnes per annum<ref>https://www.riddellpm.co.uk/projects/levenseat-efw-plant/</ref>. | |||

==Local Authority Data== | |||
The [[Residual EfW]] pages for sites located in England and Wales capture the data reported by Local Authorities, through [[WasteDataFlow]], received at those sites. In Scotland this data is not reported, meaning that the destination in [[WasteDataFlow]] is not defined and the origin in the regulator returns for a facility receiving the tonnage is also not reported (resulting in a 'NA' in the table in the section below). As a result it is not possible to report for Scottish sites in the same way as other sites in WikiWaste. | |||
