==Summary==

An [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional combustion technology and not yet considered an [[ERF]] as it does not yet have [[R1]] status, whilst the neighbouring FM2 does. Ferrybridge FM2 has permitted operational capacity of 570,000 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/development/ferrybridge-multifuel-2-fm2-west-yorkshire Wheelabrator Website]</ref>.

==History==

The Ferrybridge FM2 facility was built to service primarily residual [[Household Waste]], [[Commercial Waste]], [[RDF]], [[SRF]] and [[Wood Waste]] giving it flexibility in the market and responding to the success and demand for the FM1 plant. The core tonnage for the plant has come from a range of suppliers, including [[RDF]] from [[AWM]]'s [[Treatment]] facility in Leeds (which receives tonnage from [[Bradford Metropolitan District Council | Bradford]] amongst others) but the plant also includes a large proportion of tonnage from other waste management companies processing [[Residual Waste]] to form an [[RDF]] for the plant, rather than relying on a core [[PPP]] or [[PFI]] contract for supply. It is located on the old Ferrybridge 'C' coal fire power station near Knottingley and has [[Ferrybridge Multifuel 1 (FM1)]] located adjacent to it, on the same [[SSE]] site. The combined FM1 and FM2 are capable of processing 1,140,000 tonnes per annum, making it the biggest [[Residual Waste EFW]] site in the UK (although FM2 has been reported<ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/ferrybridge-multifuel-2-fully-operational/ Letsrecycle Article]</ref> to have a throughput capacity of 675,000 tonnes per annum).

==Plant==

Built by [[Hitachi Zosen Inova]] under a Design & Build [[EPC]]-turnkey contract and was delivered in December 2019 at a reported<ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/ferrybridge-multifuel-2-fully-operational/ Letsrecycle Article]</ref> GBP £325m capital cost.

The plant comprises the same design as FM1 - 2 lines of 31.3 tonnes/hour (maximum 42.2 tonnes/hour) design capacity capable of treating 513,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology, air cooled, Hitachi Zosen Inova Grate AR123-120120, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on residual [[Household Waste]], [[Commercial Waste]], [[RDF]], [[SRF]] and [[Wood Waste]] with a [[CV]] of between 8.5 and 16.5MJ/kg to deliver 67.8MWe of power [[Ferrybridge Multifuel 1 (FM1)]].
