An [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an [[ERF]] based on its [[R1]] status. Riverside has permitted operational capacity of 750,000 tonnes per annum, operated by [[Cory Riverside Energy]]. Delivery of waste is primarily by barge on the River Thames, with some tonnage by road, and the facility processes primarily residual [[Household Waste]] and some [[Commercial Waste]]<ref>[https://www.coryenergy.com/about-us/our-history/ Cory Website]</ref>. | |||
