What is RDF?
RDF stands for Refuse Derive Fuel. (fuel obtained from waste). It is a generic term used to describe waste from municipal or commercial sources that is residual (i.e. non-recyclable mixed waste) that has undergone some processing that allows it to be burnt as a fuel to produce energy in an energy-from-waste incinerator
„Substituting fossile energy”
Developping energy in Europe (Austria, Germany, Denmark) - News from Europe The main findings from this research are that the input of RDF in the rotary kilns in the cement plants on the territory of Bulgaria would affect positively the industry, both in technical and in environmental terms, and thence – in its economic aspects. The more specific results of the established trends are: reduction of greenhouse emission and other atmospheric pollutants, in particular - of ammonium oxides;cost reduction for fossil fuels;increase of the efficiency of the observed kiln, as well as complete drop of the landfilled waste […].
