Incineration with Energy Recovery

This is a ‘waste destination’ description that appears in WasteDataFlow.

Waste Disposal Authorities will select this option from a drop down list within WasteDataFlow if the Residual Waste collected by the Waste Collection Authorities or Residual Waste collected at the Household Waste Recycling Centres has been sent to an incineration facility that uses the waste to recovery energy such as an Energy Recovery Facility or an Energy from Waste (EfW) facility.

Efficiency

Where an EFW facility meets the standards of efficiency set out in the European Commission Guidelines on the R1 energy efficiency formula in Annex II of Directive 2008/98/EC, it can be considered an Energy Recovery Facility or R1 facility (Incineration with Energy Recovery) and to achieve this a plant may need CHP as part of its solution.
