Analysis of the same data showed that 10 plants reported co-combustion of RDF (Table 14). On theaverage, the RDF combusted by these plants amounted to 5.67% of the total feedstock.CountryTable 14 Co-Combustion of RDF in EuropeLocationTotalTons/yRDFTons/yRDF as %of TotalCombustedAustria Zwentendorf 323,000 2,300 0.71%Denmark Næstved 89,458 63 0.07%France Douchy les Mines 39,295 3,530 8.98%Italy Poggibonsi (SI) 20,436 2,728 13.35%Italy Ravenna 169,954 44,601 26.24%Italy Trieste 138,200 1,000 0.72%Italy Vercelli 58,890 1,530 2.60%Italy Verona 131,300 7,800 5.94%SpainMeruelo(Cantabria) 244,639 90 0.04%Switzerland Lausanne 120,000 12,000 10.00%Total (10 Plants Reporting)1,335,172 75,642 5.67%* Switzerland, Lausanne reported RDF co‐combusted as percentage range of 0‐20%. As such, anaverage of 10% was used to obtain a numerical value for RDF tons co‐combusted annually.**The following eleven ISWA plants are combusting RDF only and therefore were not includedin the above table as no co‐combustion is taking place: Bergamo, Italy (7 plants), San Vittore delLazio , Italy (1 plant), Trezzo sull, Italy (1 plant), Weurt, Netherlands (1 plant), and Madrid Spain(1 plant).***The Södertälje, Sweden plant is not co‐combusting RDF with MSW/household waste, onlycommercial waste and therefore was not included in the above table.****The Schio, Italy plant is not co‐combusting RDF with MSW/household waste, only hospitaland "other" waste and therefore was not included in the above table.It should be noted that only some WTE plants reported to ISWA materials that were co-combusted.Therefore, there could be other co-combusting WTE plants that are not included in Tables 10-14.61
