Residual Waste EFW: Difference between revisions

In 2019, the amount of residual waste that was sent to [[EfW]] processes in the UK increased by 9.9%, amounting to a total of 12.6 million tonnes being sent to 48 operational EfW facilities across the UK<ref name="foo2> [https://www.tolvik.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Tolvik-UK-EfW-Statistics-2019-Report-published-May-2020.pdf Derived from Tolvik EFW Statistics 2019, Published May 2020]</ref>. This was against a headline/plated capacity of 15,400,000 tonnes of operational capacity and a further 3,900,000 tonnes of late stage commissioning and in construction 'plated' capacity at that time. This represented 45.5% of the total [[Residual Waste]] produced in the UK in 2019 (increasing from 41.8% in 2018)<ref name="foo2" />. The total net power exported from [[EfW]] facilities in 2019 was 6,703 GWh, this supplied 2.0% of the total UK power generation, and gives an average of 531 kWh of power generated per tonne of residual waste treated at UK [[EfW]] facilities<ref name="foo2" />.

The graph below displays how the tonnage of residual waste processes by UK [[EfW]] facilities has changed over recent years, and is based on that received rather than the 'plated' capacity of the plants in operation and construction (18,500~~,000 tonnes~~ reported by Tolvik<ref name="foo2" /> at the end of 2019, whereas this page reports '''~~22,067,589 tonnes~~''' as at March 2021).
