An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and not yet considered an ERF as it does not yet have R1 status, whilst the neighbouring FM1 does. Ferrybridge FM2 has permitted operational capacity of 675,000 tonnes per annum, and is owned and operated by Multifuel Energy Ltd. 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[1].

Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and not yet considered an ERF as it does not yet have R1 status, whilst the neighbouring FM1 does. Ferrybridge FM2 has permitted operational capacity of 675,000 tonnes per annum, and is owned and operated by Multifuel Energy Ltd. 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[2].
History
The Ferrybridge FM2 facility was built to service primarily residual Household Waste, Commercial Waste, RDF, SRF and Wood Waste giving it flexibility in the market and responding to the success and demand for the FM1 plant. The core tonnage for the plant has come from a range of suppliers, including RDF from Associated Waste Management's Treatment facility in Leeds (which receives tonnage from Bradford amongst others) but the plant also includes a large proportion of tonnage from other waste management companies processing Residual Waste to form an RDF for the plant, rather than relying on a core PPP or PFI contract for supply. It is located on the old Ferrybridge 'C' coal fire power station near Knottingley and has Ferrybridge Multifuel 1 (FM1) 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[3] for completion in early 2021.
Plant
Built by Hitachi Zosen Inova under a Design & Build EPC-turnkey contract and was delivered in December 2019 at a reported[4] GBP £325m capital cost. The plant comprises the same design as FM1 - 2 lines of 31.3 tonnes/hour (maximum 42.2 tonnes/hour) design capacity capable of treating 566,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology, air cooled, Hitachi Zosen Inova Grate[5], 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 (see Ferrybridge Multifuel 1 (FM1)). 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 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: 623.16t
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 |
|---|---|
| Broxtowe Borough Council | 133.880 |
| Kirklees MBC | 247.820 |
| North Lincolnshire Council | 241.456 |
Waste Tonnage, By Origin
The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit XP3833DK, 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: 649,024t.
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.
