==Summary==

An [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an [[ERF]] based on its [[R1]] status. Ferrybridge FM1 has permitted operational capacity of 675,000 tonnes per annum, and is owned and operated by [[Multifuel Energy Ltd~~]] a 50:50 joint venture between [[Wheelabrator]] and [[SSE~~]]. 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<ref>[https://www.wtienergy.co.uk/plant-locations/waste-energy/ferrybridge-multifuel-facility-fm1 Wheelabrator Website]</ref>.

==History==

The Ferrybridge FM1 facility was built to service primarily residual [[Household Waste]], [[Commercial Waste]], [[RDF]], [[SRF]] and [[Wood Waste]] giving it flexibility in the market. The core tonnage for the plant includes [[Cumbria County Council | Cumbria]] via their contract with [[Renewi]] for [[RDF]] from their [[MBT]] facilities which supply 200,000 tonnes per year of the core tonnage under a [[PPP]]. It is located on the old Ferrybridge 'C' coal fire power station near Knottingley and has [[Ferrybridge Multifuel 2 (FM2)]] 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<ref>https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/wheelabrator-to-sell-uk-efw-arm/</ref> for completion in early 2021.
