France RDF Market 2017: Background, Producers, Projects, and Market Estimations – Research and Markets

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “The
RDF Market in France (Analyst Version) – Background, Producers,
Projects, and Market Estimations” report to their offering.

With the 2015 law on the Energy Transition for a Green Growth, France
has drastically changed its political attitude towards thermal waste
treatment. Under this new legislation, the energy recovery of
non-recyclable waste will be a major pillar of waste disposal as well as
a key instrument to enlarge the share of renewable energy in France.

The new French policy unambiguously sets the focus of thermal waste
treatment on pretreated waste that occurs from the sorting of different
waste streams and in the form of refuse-derived fuel (RDF). This RDF
comes from, amongst others, mechanical biological treatment (MBT) plants
and materials recycling facilities (MRFs). Other waste infrastructures
such as shredding plants or animal byproducts facilities may also be
sources for RDF.

The RDF production in France should increase to more than 2 million tons
per year due to a higher share of sorting residues used for RDF. This
growth in RDF is accompanied by new renewable energy auctions dedicated
to RDF power plants. In total, RDF combustion plants with a thermal
capacity of more than 100 MW are to be supported until 2025. First RDF
combustion projects are already being prepared.
