The Sheffield Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) is a modern incinerator which treats Sheffield’s household waste. It is notable as it not only provides electricity from the combustion of waste but also supplies heat to a local district heating scheme making it one of the most advanced energy efficient incineration plants in the UK. In 2004 the district heating network prevented 15108 tonnes of CO2 from being released from buildings across the city compared to energy derived from fossil fuels.
