In the context of WikiWaste [[Incineration without Energy Recovery]] is a ‘waste destination’ description that appears in [[WasteDataFlow]].

~~This is~~ a ~~‘waste destination’ description~~ that ~~appears in~~ [[~~WasteDataFlow~~]].

==Use in [[WasteDataFlow]]==

[[Waste Disposal Authorities]] will select this option from a drop down list within [[WasteDataFlow]] if the [[Residual Waste]] collected by the [[Waste Collection Authority|Waste Collection Authorities]] or [[Residual Waste]] collected at the [[Household Waste Recycling Centres]] has been sent to an incineration facility that does '''not''' recover enough energy from the waste to be considered an [[Energy Recovery Facility]]. .

~~Waste Disposal Authorities will select this option from~~ a ~~drop down list within~~ [[~~WasteDataFlow~~]] if ~~the~~ [[~~Residual Waste~~]] ~~collected by the~~ [[Waste ~~Collection Authority|Waste Collection Authorities~~]] or [[~~Residual Waste~~]] ~~collected at their~~ [[~~Household Waste Recycling Centres~~]] ~~has been sent to an incineration~~ facility that ~~does~~ '''~~not~~''' ~~recovery energy from the waste which it uses as a fuel~~.

==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]]).

[[Waste ~~Facilities~~ in UK]] ~~provides an indication on the numbers of incineration facilities~~ and [[~~Energy Recovery Facility|Energy Recovery Facilities~~]] ~~operating within~~ the UK.

The most recent recent [[BAT|BREF]] guidance<ref name="Inc">[https://eippcb.jrc.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/2020-01/JRC118637_WI_Bref_2019_published_0.pdf 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),

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

~~Examples~~ of incineration facilities that do not ~~recover energy include crematoria~~, ~~clinical incinerators~~ and ~~those plants incinerating animal carcasses~~.

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, the kiln/furnace used, and the [[subsidy]] that may apply to them, and these are captured in the table below:

==UK Macro Data==

[[Waste Facilities in UK]] provides an indication on the numbers of [[incineration]] facilities that are considered [[Energy Recovery Facility|Energy Recovery Facilities]] operating within the UK. Those [[EfW]] facilities that presently have an [[R1]] status are listed on the [[R1]] page as [[Energy Recovery Facility|Energy Recovery Facilities]].

Older [[incineration]] facilities, [[Clinical Waste Incinerator|Clinical Waste Incineration]] and [[Hazardous Waste Incineration]] generally do not meet [[R1]], are therefore generally considered [[disposal]] facilities, and are generally registered in [[WasteDataFlow]] as [[Incineration without Energy Recovery]].
