development remains a significant challenge and addressing this should be a priority for the UK.
Some technologies, for example gasification & pyrolysis, can provide an efficient way of converting a range of biogenic feedstocks into fuels and chemicals too. The technologies also offer wider advantages for UK plc as we are currently a leader in the R&D and manufacturing of the technology. The two main G&P technologies are:
Gasification - A process in which biomass or waste is heated in a vessel to produce a gas (syngas) that can then be used to produce electricity, chemicals or fuels.
Pyrolysis - A process in which biomass or waste is heated in a vessel to form char, gas and/or liquid that can be used to produce electricity or fuels.
MANIFESTO ASKS
• Support for waste to energy - Ensure waste to energy technologies can continue to contribute to UK renewable power deployment under EMR
• Heat networks as UK infrastructure - Government funding for CHP infrastructure
• Appropriate support for ATTs/G&P - Reserve capacity for projects applying for CfDs in order to support this emerging technology
• Joined up thinking - Ensure a more strategic approach to commercial & industrial waste so that it is available for energy generation
• Better regulation - Ensure waste and permitting regulations are consistently enforced
• RDF exports - Monitor the situation and respond accordingly, supporting technologies such as gasification and pyrolysis and markets such as heat offtakers is vital as is ensuring that valuable RDF remains available for energy production in the UK, within the context of a free market across the EU
