==Summary==

An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Leeds ERF, also known as Cross Green ERF, is located at Cross Green Industrial Estate in the city of Leeds. The facility has a permitted operational capacity of 214,000 tonnes per annum, exporting up to 11.6 MW electricity to the national grid after the plants own power needs are supplied for <ref name="ref1" >Veolia, 2020.

The plant is owned and operated by Veolia. The waste feedstock utilised at the plant is primarily residual waste arising from households and businesses located in the Leeds area.

==History==

Veolia signed a 25-year [[Private Finance Initiative]] (PFI) contract with [[Leeds City Council]] for residual municipal waste treatment and energy recovery in November 2012, beginning their partnership that obliged Veolia to build and operate the ERF facility for 25 years. Planning permission for the Recycling and Energy Recovery Facility was granted in April 2013, and construction of the ERF began in October 2013. The commissioning and construction phase ended and operations began in April 2016<ref name="ref1" />.

==Plant==

The ERF is co-located with a recycling facility. Clungsten undertook the EPC for this facility that employs CNIM technology, with TSP Projects acting as Lead Designers<ref>TSP Communications, 2020.

[Accessed 10 Feb. 2020].]</ref>.

The contract to develop and operate this facility is worth approximately £460 million.

The architectural design of this ERF was of key consideration during the development process, an internationally renowned architect designed the building that is based upon the use of glass and timber framing. The design includes a green ‘living’ wall with habitat creation to the southern side and rainwater harvesting and sustainable drainage systems. The main building stands at a height of 42 m, with a stack height of 75 m<ref name="ref1" />.
