~~This~~ is a ‘waste destination’ description that appears in [[WasteDataFlow]].

In the context of WikiWaste [[Incineration with Energy Recovery]] is a ‘waste destination’ description that appears in [[WasteDataFlow]].

[[Waste Disposal Authorities]] will select this option from a drop down list within [[WasteDataFlow]] if the [[Residual Waste]] collected by the [[Waste Collection Authority|Waste Collection Authorities]] or [[Residual Waste]] collected at the [[Household Waste Recycling Centres]] has been sent to an incineration facility that ~~uses the waste to recovery energy such~~ as an [[Energy Recovery Facility]] ~~or an [[Energy from Waste]] (EfW) facility~~.

==Use in [[WasteDataFlow]]==

[[Waste Disposal Authorities]] will select this option from a drop down list within [[WasteDataFlow]] if the [[Residual Waste]] collected by the [[Waste Collection Authority|Waste Collection Authorities]] or [[Residual Waste]] collected at the [[Household Waste Recycling Centres]] has been sent to an incineration facility that is defined as [[Energy Recovery Facility]].

==~~Efficiency~~==

==Context and Definition==

~~Where~~ an ~~EFW~~ facility ~~meets~~ the ~~standards~~ of ~~efficiency set out in the European Commission Guidelines on the~~ [[R1]] energy efficiency ~~formula in Annex II~~ of ~~Directive 2008/98/EC~~, it can be ~~considered~~ an [[Energy Recovery Facility]] or [[R1]] ~~facility~~ ([[Incineration with Energy Recovery]]) and ~~to achieve this a plant may need~~ [[~~CHP~~]] ~~as part of its solution.~~

If an [[Incineration]] facility can be shown to meet the energy efficiency measurement of [[R1]] it can be classified as a [[recovery]] facility, if it cannot it is classified as a [[disposal]] facility<ref>https://data.gov.uk/dataset/8287c81b-2288-4f14-9068-52bfda396402/r1-status-of-incinerators-in-england</ref>. This means that an incinerator that generates power, and is a net exporter of power, but does not meet the energy efficiency of [[R1]], can be described as an '''[[Energy from Waste]]''' ([[EfW]]) facility. An incinerator that meets the [[R1]] criteria is the only type of incinerator under the legislation that can legitimately describe itself as an '''[[Energy Recovery Facility]]''' ([[ERF]]).

The most recent recent [[BAT|BREF]] guidance<ref name="Inc">[https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/news/new-eu-environmental-standards-waste-incineration BAT and BREF for Waste incineration]</ref> also sets out how incinerators can be described by:

* waste origin (e.g. Municipal Incinerators), '''and in WikiWaste includes [[Residual Waste EFW]] and [[Biomass Waste EFW]]''',

* the nature of the waste (e.g. Hazardous Waste Incinerators), '''and in WikiWaste includes [[Hazardous Waste Incineration]] and [[Clinical Waste Incineration]]'''

* the method/type of incineration (e.g. High Temperature Incinerators).

However, there are a range of other terms used in the sector to describe different types of incineration, the kiln/furnace used, and the [[subsidy]] that may apply to them, and these are captured in the table below:
