1 Scope
This document addresses the provision of background references that are helpful in
defining a more detailed specification for SRF according to its specific end use for energy conversion ( EfW plants ) and to support the SRF market. The aim is to enable all the interested stakeholders – producers, end users,
legislators, local authority bodies and standardization bodies – to guarantee that
the SRF complies fully with technical, environmental and economic requirements and to facilitate
its social acceptability when utilized for energy conversion .
This document is intended to provide references for the specification of SRF produced from non-hazardous waste streams and traded to EfW plants as waste . The quality of such SRF is specified through values for relevant fuel properties, appropriate to the subsequent
end uses that have an expected growth or an established/well consolidated role in
heat and power generation in waste -to-energy systems:
— coal co-combustion in cement kilns,
— gasification,
— coal co-combustion in power plants.
The SRF can also be ...
