London produces 4,000,000 tonnes of refuse per year. Also called Municipal Solid Waste - M.S.W. : London produces 4,000,000 tonnes of refuse per year. Also called Municipal Solid Waste - M.S.W. Of this, SELCHP processes 420,000 tonnes of M.S.W. per year, principally from the London Boroughs of: Lewisham Greenwich Westminster Bexley

Environmental Benefits: Environmental Benefits High standards of environmental performance - state of the art technology Processing waste from local areas Reduction of waste going to landfill Production of electricity Production of heat Reuse of ash residue…….
Energy Recovery – Benefits: Energy Recovery – Benefits Minimises landfill Recovers value - up to 600 kWh electricity per tone Conserves scarce fossil fuels Reduces greenhouse gas emissions Minimises haulage of wastes Higher environmental standards than coal/oil-fired power stations Ferrous and non ferrous metal recovered for recycling Ash used as aggregate substitute
Provides enough electricity for 48,000 homes : Provides enough electricity for 48,000 homes Displaces 80,000 tones of coal or 50,000 tones of heavy fuel oil
