==Overview==
[[Combustion]] is essentially the burning or [[Treatment|thermal treatment]] of [[Waste|waste]] in a furnace/kiln of an [[Incineration|incinerator]] under controlled conditions.

Of the [[Municipal Solid Waste]] ([[MSW]]) [[Incineration|incinerators]] listed on the [[Residual Waste EFW]] page and operating in the UK, a large number (but not all), operate standard combustion technologies which either result in the net generation of power (electricity) or otherwise.

==Context and Definition==

If an [[Incineration]] facility can be shown to meet the energy efficiency measurement of [[R1]] it can be classified as a [[recovery]] facility, if it cannot it is classified as a [[disposal]] facility<ref>https://data.gov.uk/dataset/8287c81b-2288-4f14-9068-52bfda396402/r1-status-of-incinerators-in-england</ref>. This means that an incinerator that generates power, and is a net exporter of power, can be described as an [[Energy from Waste]]([[EfW]]) facility. An incinerator that is an [[EfW]] facility that meets the [[R1]] criteria is the only type of incinerator under the legislation that can legitimately describe itself as an '''[[Energy Recovery Facility]]''' ([[ERF]]).

The most recent recent [[BAT|BREF]] guidance<ref name="Inc">[https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/news/new-eu-environmental-standards-waste-incineration BAT and BREF for Waste incineration]</ref> also sets out how incinerators can be described by:
* waste origin (e.g. Municipal Incinerators), '''and in WikiWaste includes [[Residual Waste EFW]] and [[Biomass Waste EFW]]''',
* the nature of the waste (e.g. Hazardous Waste Incinerators), '''and in WikiWaste includes [[Hazardous Waste Incineration]] and [[clinical Waste Incinerator|Clinical Waste Incineration]]'''
* the method/type of incineration (e.g. High Temperature Incinerators).

However, there are a range of other terms used in the sector to describe different types of [[Incineration|incineration]], the kiln/furnace used, and the [[subsidy]] that may apply to them, and these are captured in the table below:

Standard combustion technologies are well established within [[Waste|waste]] [[Incineration]] facilities operating not just in the UK but across the globe and benefit from being able to operate at lower temperatures (typically in the range off 800 - 1200°C). The combustion of [[Waste|waste]] does mean that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are produced in the process and as such all [[Waste|waste]] [[Incineration|incinerators]] operating throughout the UK must comply with the strict emissions requirements stipulated within the [[Industrial Emissions Directive]] ([[IED]]) which has been transposed in England and Wales by the [[Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010]] as amended which require all [[Waste|waste]] [[Incineration|incineration]] faciliites to operate within the conditions imposed within their [[Environmental Permit]].
