An Energy from Waste (EfW) facility that qualifies for R1 status is considered an Energy Recovery Facility rather than as a disposal facility.

Recovery Facility Definition Applied to Energy from Waste

Article 3 of the Waste Framework Directive (WFD) 2008/98/EC defines 'Recovery' as: 'any operation the principal result of which is waste serving a useful purpose by replacing other materials which would otherwise have been used to fulfill a particular function, or waste being prepared to fulfill that function, in the plant or in the wider economy'. Annex II (of the WFD) sets out a non-exhaustive list of recovery operations.The R1 status of an Energy from Waste (EfW) facility classifies it as an Energy Recovery Facility rather than as a disposal operation such as a D10 operation - incineration on Land. 'Disposal' on the otherhand is defined as: 'any operation which is not recovery even where the operation has as a secondary consequence the reclamation of substances or energy'. Annex I (of the WFD) sets out a non-exhaustive list of disposal operations.

The EU standard sets a requirement to exceed a certain level of power conversion efficiency to qualify it as an R1 facility.

Qualifying for R1 Status

For a MSW EfW facility to qualify for R1 status it must:

Only R1 facilities can receive WDF from other EU countries for processing – export to other EU countries for Disposal (for example to an Incinerator that does not have R1 status) is illegal[2].

The formula for calculating the R1 status of a MSW EfW facility is given below:

[math]\displaystyle{ Pl_{ef} = {{O_{exp}-(E_f+E_{imp})} \over {(E_f+E_{imp}+E_{circ})}} }[/math]

all figures as equivalents in accordance to BREF,Chapter 3.5.6

  • Plef = Plant Efficiency.
  • Ef = annual energy input to the system by fuels with steam production (GJ/y)
  • Eimp = annual imported energy (Note: energy from the treated waste (Ew) is not included)
  • Ecirc = annual energy circulated
  • Oexp = annual exported energy (combined total of heat plus electricity as equivalents)

Energy Efficiency Results[1]

The minimum R1 values are:

0.60 for MSW permitted and in operation before 1 January 2009

0.65 for MSW permitted and in operation after 31 December 2008
