An integrated [[EfW]] facility with other treatment technologies, with the [[EfW]] based upon [[Gasification]] technology and considered an [[ERF]] based on its [[R1]] status. The [[EfW]] element of the facility at Glasgow has permitted operational capacity of 150,000 tonnes per annum, operated and owned by [[Viridor]]. Delivery of waste is by road to a regeneration site at Polmadie in the south of the city <ref>[https://www.viridor.co.uk/energy/energy-recovery-facilities/glasgow-rrec/ Viridor Website]</ref>.

==Summary==
An integrated [[EfW]] facility with other treatment technologies, with the [[EfW]] based upon [[Gasification]] technology and considered an [[ERF]] based on its [[R1]] status. The [[EfW]] element of the facility at Glasgow has permitted operational capacity of 150,000 tonnes per annum, operated and owned by [[Viridor]]. Delivery of waste is by road to a regeneration site at Polmadie in the south of the city <ref>[https://www.viridor.co.uk/energy/energy-recovery-facilities/glasgow-rrec/ Viridor Website]</ref>.

==History==
The Glasgow facility was built as an integrated solution primarily to service a 25 year [[PPP]] ([[Design Build Finance Operate]] ("[[DBFO]]" model) <ref>https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=31413&p=0</ref> contract with [[Glasgow City Council]] signed in July 2012 to process around 350,000 tonnes per annum. The facility diverts around 200,000 tonnes per annum from [[Landfill]] via a combination of [[Mechanical Biological Treatment]] including [[Anaerobic Digestion]], with the [[RDF]] output sent to the [[ATT]]/[[Gasification]] facility with a capacity listed of 150,000 tonnes per annum and power output of 15MWe.

==Plant==
Originally built by [[Interserve]] under an [[EPC]] contract which started in 2013 (with a 2016 completion date) with the [[Gasification]] technology delivered by [[Energos]], the contract was terminated due to 'repeated delays', and was completed by [[Doosan Babcock]] in late summer 2019. Originally estimated to cost £154m by Viridor, they reported an over run of £95m <ref>[https://www.mrw.co.uk/latest/viridor-to-lose-95m-on-its-glasgow-efw-project/10029534.article MRW Article]</ref>,. Due to the accumulated losses by [[Interserve]] on this project and the [[Sinfin Lane]] project led to [[Interserve]] exciting the [[EfW]] market in early 2017<ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/interserve-to-be-investigated-over-efw-exit/ Letsrecycle Article]</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.
