The question of how to efficiently utilise residual waste has become imperative for numerous reasons – increasing landfill taxes, the drive for a low carbon economy, the requirements of resource efficiency and the search for increased energy security.

The value of residual waste is now widely recognised, and the market potential in this sector is considerable. Its use as a fuel source through a variety of technologies is acknowledged in numerous strands of government policy, from the Renewable Energy Strategy, government heat strategy, energy efficiency, low carbon buildings to transport fuels.
