An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Sheffield ERF has a permitted operational capacity of 245,000 tonnes per annum, it is a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant, exporting up to 21 MW electricity to the grid after the plants own power needs are supplied for, and producing up to 45 MW of heat fed into the District Energy Network. The plant is owned and operated by Veolia. The waste feedstock utilised at the plant is primarily residual waste arising from local households and businesses, and Local Authority services[1].

Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Sheffield ERF has a permitted operational capacity of 245,000 tonnes per annum, it is a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant, exporting up to 21 MW electricity to the grid after the plants own power needs are supplied for, and producing up to 45 MW of heat fed into the District Energy Network. The plant is owned and operated by Veolia. The waste feedstock utilised at the plant is primarily residual waste arising from local households and businesses, and Local Authority services[2].
History
Construction was finished and operations began in 2006[3]. Winner of the Golden Stack Award in 2007.
Plant
The facility was built as part of a 35-year integrated waste management contract PPP worth £1.3 billion between Veolia and Sheffield City Council spanning from 2001 to 2036[3]. However, in January 2017, Councillors in Sheffield voted to prematurely terminate and re-tender this contract from April 2018, including the operations of Sheffield ERF[4]. Despite this, Veolia continues to operate this facility.
The combustion system is a Martin GmbH Reciprocating Grate with 5 rows and 13 steps with a single line, and the plant utilises a CNIM 4 Pass Vertical Boiler with Radiant Superheaters. The average Net Calorific Value (NCV) of the feedstock is 9.210 kJ/kg[5].
Local Authority Data
The table below lists those local authorities who have recorded their tonnage on WasteDataFlow as sending their Waste to this site (either directly or via a transfer station) for the most recent financial year, data was updated on 2023-04-26. 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). The total Local Authority waste received by the plant in the period was: 189,196.28t
A 'zero return' or a below expected return, when compared to the EA Data below indicates that either:
- no local authority tonnage was recorded/no tonnage was sent to the site in the period (but has been listed as it may have previously received tonnage from a local authority) or
- a result of the plant being recently commissioned and actually having received no tonnage or
- a lower than expected tonnage maybe a result of a local authority splitting their tonnage over multiple sites, having less tonnage to send than might be anticipated or
- it may be 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 or
- the local authority may not have correctly entered the site's details on WasteDataFlow
| Authority | Tonnage |
|---|---|
| Birmingham City Council | 22.840 |
| Broxtowe Borough Council | 10.260 |
| Leeds City Council MBC | 231.100 |
| Newark and Sherwood District Council | 279.440 |
| Norfolk County Council | 425.830 |
| Nottinghamshire County Council | 57010.690 |
| Rotherham MBC | 1365.223 |
| Sheffield City Council | 129850.900 |
Waste Tonnage, By Origin
The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit BM4082IY, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data was last updated on October 2024. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: 231,943.37t.
Where this tonnage exceeds that reported in year of the corresponding annual report, this may be due to the following reasons:
- Tonnage may have been received but not incinerated, i.e. the material is held pending incineration (the operator return to the EA reports as received whereas the annual report focuses on when the waste is incinerated.)
- Material may have been received into the site but treated in some other way than incineration.
- Material may have been received on the but transferred out of site for disposal/treatment at another site rather than incineration on the site.
