CEWEP Country Report 2012-2013 Finland 1/6
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) means waste from households as well as commercial, industrial and institutional waste, which because of its nature and composition is similar to waste from households (excluding hazardous waste). Solid Recovered Fuels (SRF):- solid fuel prepared from non-hazardous waste to be utilised for energy recovery in incineration or co-incineration plants, and meeting the classification and specification requirements laid down in CEN/TS WI00343003. Refuse Derived Fuels (RDF): broader than definition of SRF. In the Country Report only RDF expression is used and it comprises SRF as well. A.

Recognition of energy produced in Waste-to-Energy and RDF plants as renewable How much %? (Please indicate if it refers to energy production or waste input): 50 % of the energy produced for MSW and 60 % for RDF How much (in %) does WtE contribute to the production of renewable energy source in your country? Renewable energy from WtE corresponds to 0,7 % of the total energy produced in 2012. In your country Electricity Heat 3/6
