The application of EfW and the associated technology is slightly different according to the types of waste fuel that are to be thermally treated. The approaches and the market can be broadly split into: | The application of EfW and the associated technology is slightly different according to the types of waste fuel that are to be thermally treated.

The [[Biomass]] content of the feedstock is an important parameter as the heat/electricity produced from an EfW plant that can be classified as renewable (and therefore eligible for subsidies e.g. [[ROC]], [[RHI]]) is derived from the biogenic portion of the feedstock <ref name='ref1'>LCCC, 2019.
