Introduction This is the 5th Edition of the State-of-the Art Report on waste to energy plants pre- pared by Rambøll on behalf of the ISWA Working Group on Thermal Treatment of Waste. This 5th Edition presents information on the plants in 16 European countries by year 2005 and includes operational data covering 2004. The countries included are Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. To the best of the editors’ knowledge these 16 countries represent all European countries with waste to energy plants with the ex- ception of Luxembourg with only one plant incinerating 130.000 tonnes of waste per year. Data on the individual incineration plants are presented country by country in three tables in the report: 1. General Information (location, name, address etc.) 2. Technical Information (number of lines, capacity, furnace/boiler and flue gas treatment systems including their suppliers etc.) 3. Operational data (quantities incinerated, residues formed and energy produced and sold) The report covers MSW incineration plants with a capacity of more than 15 ton- nes/day or 10,000 tonnes/year, which means that special plants for hazardous waste, sludge, agricultural and hospital wastes are not included. The data has been collected through a questionnaire that was distributed to the waste to energy plants in the various countries in 2005. In general, the response rate on the questionnaire has been high in most countries, near to 100%, and it is believed that almost all the existing plants in the 16 countries are included. How- ever, for Austria, Belgium, France, Great Britain and Portugal technical information and operational data are not complete for all of the plants. In total the report brings information on 431 European waste to energy plants. This is an increase of 15% compared to the 375 plants listed in the 4th Edition embracing 14 countries. The increase is primarily due to a better response rate to the question- naires (Austria, Great Britain, Norway and Sweden). In most of the other countries the number of plants has remained constant or increased. However, as an exception to this trend, the number of plants in Italy has gone down from 62 to 51 due to clo- sure of old plants. Of the increase, the two additional countries, the Czech Republic and Finland, ac- counts for 4 plants. 1 The first section of the report contains a comparison of the 16 countries in terms of number of plants, amount of waste treated, energy sold and the residues generated. The second section presents the above national tables with general information, technical information and operational data for the waste to energy plants data in the 16 countries. Finally, the report contains information on the waste-to-energy plants in USA.

Introduction 1.1 Produced in line with national planning policy (see paragraphs 3.2 - 3.4 for more details), this Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) provides details of infrastructure needed to support future growth as a result of the Local Plan - Housing, including the type, timing and potential costs of infrastructure. 1.2 The IDP is intended to be a 'living' document, with its content monitored on a regular basis (in all likelihood alongside the Local Plan Annual Monitoring Report [AMR]) and updated as appropriate, in order to reflect changing circumstances, including when any new Local Development Documents (LDDs) are produced as part of the overarching Local Plan. To remain up-to-date, a flow of information from (internal [i.e. Council) and external) service providers to the Planning Policy team will be required on a regular basis. 1.3 The IDP does not include every infrastructure project planned in Middlesbrough or provide a list of planning obligations; it only includes those that will help to deliver the development (i.e. housing) proposed by the Local Plan - Housing or contribute towards the creation of sustainable communities. It does, however, identify areas where gaps in provision exist or are likely to exist over the plan period.

  • UK Energy from Waste Statistics – 2019
    UK Energy from Waste Statistics – 2019 May 2020 UK Energy from Waste Statistics - 2019 INTRODUCTION Tolvik’s sixth annual report on the UK Energy from Waste (“EfW”) sector brings together data from a range of sources into a single document. Thanks to excellent co-operation between the Environment Agency, Environmental Services Association and individual EfW operators, there has been significant progress in the standardisation of reporting via the Annual Performance Reports (“APR”) prepared by operators which has greatly facilitated the preparation of this report. As we develop the report each year, so the range of subjects covered is expanded. For the first time, and in line with increased stakeholder interest, this year we have undertaken a preliminary assessment of the carbon intensity of EfWs per tonne of waste processed. Such analysis is, given the lack of an agreed methodology, subjective and we would particularly welcome any feedback on our calculations. Meanwhile the sections on operations, consumable usage and emissions to air have been developed as more data becomes available. For consistency with previous years, the focus of this report continues to remain upon conventional moving grate EfWs and Advanced Conversion Technology (“ACT”) facilities in the UK generating energy from the combustion of Residual Waste. Residual Waste is defined as non-hazardous, solid, combustible mixed waste which remains after recycling activities. This definition is a little broader than that for Municipal Waste but primarily includes wastes falling within European Waste Catalogue (“EWC”) 19 12 10, 19 12 12 and 20 03 01. The report continues to exclude EfW facilities in Jersey and the Isle of Man and facilities solely processing Waste Wood or other biomass wastes.
