Energy recovery

Energy-from-waste (EfW) on the Isle of Man is the thermal treatment by incineration of municipal, clinical and some industrial solid waste under controlled conditions, recovering renewable energy in the form of electricity.

EfW plays a crucial role in an integrated portfolio of waste management activities and, in addition to production of electricity, by-products of the process such as metals and ash can be recycled.
