Energy recovery
The London Plan, Published by the Mayor of London in March 2016, suggests that: ‘To recover energy is to gain useful energy, in the form of heat and/or electric power, or transport fuel, from waste. It includes combined heat and power using incineration, gasification or pyrolysis technologies, combustion of landfill gas and gas produced during anaerobic digestion.’
