Advanced Thermal Treatment technologies are primarily those that employ [[Pyrolysis]] and/or [[Gasification]] to process municipal solid waste ([[MSW]]) or biomass<ref name="foo" > [[DEFRA]], 2013, [https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/221035/pb13888-thermal-treatment-waste.pdf Advanced Thermal Treatment of Municipal Solid Waste.] London. </ref>. It excludes [[Incineration]] of wastes which is already a mature and well-established technology.

Most commonly, the gas produced from [[gasification]] or [[pyrolysis]] are combusted in a boiler, and steam produced is used to generate electricity. Alternatively, if the [[syngas]] undergoes processing, then chemical feedstocks or fuels can be produced from ATT plants<ref name="foo" />.

Most commonly, energy is recovered through this process as the gas produced from [[gasification]] or [[pyrolysis]] are combusted in a boiler, and the steam produced is used to generate electricity. Alternatively, if the [[syngas]] undergoes processing, then chemical feedstocks or fuels can be produced from ATT plants<ref name="foo" />.

ATT plants have varying configurations but will typically consist of the following key elements:
