An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. The North Hykenham Energy from Waste facility as its also known has a permitted operational capacity of 190,000 tonnes per annum, and is owned and operated by FCC Environment. The waste arrives on 10 and 25 tonne collection vehicles from the local Lincoln area and five waste transfer stations based in Boston, Gainsborough, Grantham, Louth and Sleaford. <ref name="NH">https://www.fccenvironment.co.uk/green-energy/lincoln/</ref> The facility processes primarily residual [[Household Waste]] and some [[Commercial Waste]]. | An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status.

[[Prudential Borrowing]] meant that the £135m costs were funded by a loan from the [[National Loans Fund]] linked to [[HM Treasury]].<ref name="LetsR">https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/cable-praises-renewable-efw-opening-lincolnshire-plant/</ref> | ||

The facility consists of one incinerator line with a total annual capacity of 154,000 tonnes per year (19.24tph) of waste materials with a design average lower calorific value (LCV) of approximately 9.3 MJ/Kg. Moving grate technology is used for burning the waste material. <ref name="AR"/> | The facility consists of one incinerator line with a total annual capacity of 154,000 tonnes per year (19.24tph) of waste materials with a design average lower calorific value (LCV) of approximately 9.3 MJ/Kg.
