Therefore, the activity is termed Incineration, whether the thermal treatment of the waste is via [[Conventional Combustion]], [[Pyrolysis]], [[Gasification]] or indeed [[Plasma]] process, if the gases resulting from the treatment are subsequently incinerated<ref name='ref01'>European Commission, 2010.

As an example, a [[Pyrolysis]] facility that burnt the produced [[Syngas]] to generate electricity would be Incineration, whereas a [[Pyrolysis]] facility that processed [[Syngas]] for vehicle fuel would not. | Therefore, the activity is termed Incineration, whether the thermal treatment of the waste is via [[Conventional Combustion]], [[Pyrolysis]], [[Gasification]] or indeed [[Plasma]] process, if the gases resulting from the treatment are subsequently incinerated<ref name='ref01'>European Commission, 2010.

The standards for emissions limits, monitoring, waste reception and treatment standards that are acceptable for waste incineration plants were set in the [[Waste Incineration Directive]] (2000/76/EC) and updated in the [[Industrial Emissions Directive]] (2010/75/EU)<ref name='ref01' />.
