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 [[Incineration|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 Incineration]]''' (which may or may not be [[EfW]]~~

* the nature of the waste (e.g. Hazardous Waste Incinerators),

* the method/type of incineration (e.g. High Temperature Incinerators) ~~(which may or may not be~~ [[~~EfW~~]])

* the method/type of incineration (e.g. High Temperature Incinerators)

In WikiWaste these last two bullet points are covered in '''[[High Temperature and Clinical Waste Incineration]]'''.

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

==Emissions==

The standards for emissions limits, monitoring, waste reception and treatment standards that are acceptable for waste incineration plants were set in the [[Waste Incineration Directive]] (2000/76/EC) and updated in the [[Industrial Emissions Directive]] (2010/75/EU)<ref name='ref01' />. The [[Industrial Emissions Directive]] provides the framework ~~for regulating~~ across the EU and requires such installations to hold a [[Environmental Permit|Permit]] based on the use of [[Best Available Technique]] ([[BAT]]).

On the 3rd December 2019 new EU standards were published for waste incineration <ref name="Inc" /> for new emissions, monitoring and efficiency standards. The new specifications stem from a review of [[Best Available Technique]] ([[BAT]]) Reference Document ([[BAT|BREF]]) for Waste Incineration.
