Production and Utilisation of Solid Recovered Fuels in Germany

Solid recovered fuels (hereafter SRF) is the generic term for fuels recovered from waste, that are either incinerated in plants specifically built for this purpose or co-incinerated in plants built for other fuel types. In Germany, they are produced mainly in mechanical (-biological) waste treatment plants and sorting facilities for industrial and commercial waste.

At present, 61 mechanical(-biological) waste treatment plants with a total capacity of around 6.4 million tonnes per year are operated in Germany. The average SRF yield of the plants is at around 47 per cent - the produced qualities vary substantially. Further output streams are combustible fractions, which do not meet SRF quality, value added materials (e.g. Fe scrap, NF scrap, wood fraction) and landfill fractions.

In sorting facilities for industrial and commercial waste, around 6.6 million tonnes of waste are processed per year. The SRF yield amounts up to around 70 per cent of the sorting facility input on average. Here too, SRF of varying quality are produced. Other output streams are materials for recycling (e.g. paper, cardboard, carton, plastics, wood) and sorting residues for waste incineration.

The recovery paths for SRF from municipal and commercial waste are

• mono-combustion in SRF power plants

• combustion in waste incineration plants (together with residual waste)

• co-combustion in coal-fired power plants as well as

• co-combustion in cement plants.
