UK Energy from Waste Statistics – 2024
Tolvik’s 2024 report on the UK Energy from Waste (“EfW”) sector brings together data, sourced primarily from the Annual Performance Reports (“APR”) submitted by operators to their respective regulator, into a single document.
The focus of this report continues to remain upon facilities in the UK primarily designed for the combustion of Residual Waste. Residual Waste is defined as non-hazardous, solid, combustible mixed waste which remains after recycling activities. This definition is a little broader than that for Municipal Waste but primarily includes wastes falling within European Waste Catalogue (“EWC”) 19 12 10, 19 12 12 and 20 03 01. As previously the report excludes EfW facilities in Jersey and the Isle of Man. It also provides a high-level summary of the tonnage of Residual Waste sent to co-incineration facilities (primarily cement kilns) in the UK.
