This numerical value relates to the energy efficiency of an [[Advanced Conversion Technology]] for the processing of waste, given as a percentage over a particular period of time. | |||
In order to receive [[Contract for Difference]] support, the required ACT Efficiency of the conversion process must be met. The efficiency is calculated using the equation below: | In order to receive [[Contract for Difference]] support, the required ACT Efficiency of the conversion process must be met. The efficiency is calculated using the equation below: | ||
<big>ACT Efficiency = <math>{E_{products bio} \over (E_{bio}+E_{inputs bio})} </math></big> | |||

*E products bio is the energy (MJ) from Biomass in the Advanced Fuel which is produced from the material to which E bio relates, | *E<sub>products bio</sub> is the energy (MJ) from Biomass in the Advanced Fuel which is produced from the material to which E<sub>bio</sub> relates, | ||
*E bio is the energy (MJ) from Biomass in the material from which the Advanced Fuel to which E products bio relates was produced; | *E<sub>bio</sub> is the energy (MJ) from Biomass in the material from which the Advanced Fuel to which E<sub>products bio</sub> relates was produced; | ||
*E inputs bio is any energy (MJ) used in the production of the Advanced Fuel to which E products bio relates. | *E<sub>inputs bio</sub> is any energy (MJ) used in the production of the Advanced Fuel to which E<sub>products bio</sub> relates. | ||
