Is EfW just another fancy name for incineration?
Unlike today’s modern facilities, a number of plants that were developed during the late 1960s and 70s simply burnt or incinerated waste, using mains gas or other fossil fuels. However, modern facilities recover energy from the process and are therefore classed as EfW facilities, as opposed to being simply an incineration plant. BioGen Power EfW plants utilise Advanced Conversion Technology (ACT) and only use a small amount of natural gas to kick start the gasification process.
