==Summary==
An [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an [[ERF]] based on its [[R1]] status. Ferrybridge FM1 has permitted operational capacity of 675,000 tonnes per annum, and is owned and operated by [[Multifuel Energy Ltd]] a 50:50 joint venture between [[Wheelabrator]] and [[SSE]]. Delivery of waste is primarily by road, and the facility processes primarily [[RDF]] but is able to process a range of other [[Waste Derived Fuel]], hence its 'Multifuel' name<ref>[https://www.wtienergy.co.uk/plant-locations/waste-energy/ferrybridge-multifuel-facility-fm1 Wheelabrator Website]</ref>.

==History==
==History==
The Ferrybridge FM1 facility was built to service primarily residual [[Household Waste]], [[Commercial Waste]], [[RDF]], [[SRF]] and [[Wood Waste]] giving it flexibility in the market. The core tonnage for the plant includes [[Cumbria County Council | Cumbria]] via their contract with [[Renewi]] for [[RDF]] from their [[MBT]] facilities which supply 200,000 tonnes per year of the core tonnage under a [[PPP]]. It is located on the old Ferrybridge 'C' coal fire power station near Knottingley and has [[Ferrybridge Multifuel 2 (FM2)]] located adjacent to it, on the same [[SSE]] site. The combined FM1 and FM2 are capable of processing 1,350,000 tonnes per annum, making it the biggest [[Residual Waste EFW]] site in the UK.

The project was originally a 50:50 joint venture between [[Wheelabrator]] and [[SSE]], but in late  2020 [[SSE]] sold their share to the [[European Diversified Infrastructure Fund III]], a fund managed by [[First Sentier Investors]] (FSI) (formally known as First State Investments) headquartered in Australia. In December 2020 [[Wheelabrator]] announced the sale of their UK energy from waste division to the same fund<ref>https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/wheelabrator-to-sell-uk-efw-arm/</ref> for completion in early 2021.

The plant comprises 2 lines of 31.3 tonnes/hour (maximum 42.2 tonnes/hour) design capacity capable of treating 513,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology, air cooled, Hitachi Zosen Inova Grate AR123-120120, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on residual [[Household Waste]], [[Commercial Waste]], [[RDF]], [[SRF]] and [[Wood Waste]] with a [[CV]] of between 8.5 and 16.5MJ/kg to deliver 67.8MWe of power <ref>[http://www.hz-inova.com/cms/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Ferrybridge_Online_E.pdf Hitachi Zosen Inova pdf]</ref>. Operating at the higher tonnes/ hour figure would result in a capacity close to 690,000 tonnes per annum, but this would require a low [[CV]].

==Local Authority Users==
==Local Authority Users==
The following data comes from [[WasteDataFlow]] for the financial year 2018/19 and represents those local authorities recorded as putting tonnage into the site (either directly or via a transfer station). The tonnage received cannot be directly compared with the stated historical tonnage received and recorded in the [[EA]] statistics as these are recorded on a calendar year basis (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018). A 'zero return' below indicates no local authority tonnage was recorded, most likely a result of the plant being recently commissioned and actually having received no tonnage. Equally, lower than expected tonnage maybe a result of either a new plant being in 'ramp up' towards full capacity after construction, or may be a result of plant shut down and subsequent re-start in a year.
Tonnage from [[Cumbria County Council]] is not listed below as the Local Authority do not specify the end destination after the [[MBT]] processing contract with [[Renewi]] under their [[PPP]]. In 2018/19 [[WasteDataFlow]] showed ca. 60,000 tonnes that went to [[Energy from Waste]] 'multiple destinations', this is thought to be largely sent to FM1.
