废物转化能源政策可以成为垃圾填埋场转用和气候变化战略的重要组成部分。许多英国废物处理当局（WDA）目前正在决定哪些废物能源政策最适合各自的城市地区。这些决定是具有挑战性的，因为任何EFW政策的环境，经济和社会影响必须得到充分考虑，现在规划指导方针要求进行全面的可持续性评估。更具体地说，WDA必须确定合适的设施地点以及设施的最佳规模和数量。本文报告了一项研究的结果，开发和评估EFW的政策选择，使用地理信息系统和多标准分析建模。这些方法被用来评估和比较几个EfW策略在英国康沃尔郡和沃里克郡的行政区域的影响。根据EfW设施的规模和数量以及所选择的技术（包括传统焚烧和先进热处理），确定了不同的战略。这项工作的总体结论是，分布式小规模EFW设施得分最高的整体上选择的决策标准，规模是更重要的比技术设计，在确定整体EFW政策的影响。
Energy-from-waste (EfW) policies can provide an essential part of landfill diversion and climate change strategies. Many UK waste disposal authorities (WDAs) are currently deciding which energy-from-waste policies are most suitable for their respective municipal areas. Such decisions are challenging since the environmental, economic and social implications of any EfW policy must be fully considered, now that planning guidelines require a full Sustainability Assessment. More specifically, WDAs must identify suitable site locations for facilities, and the optimal scale and number of facilities. This paper reports the results from a study that has developed and appraised EfW policy options using Geographical Information Systems and Multi Criteria Analysis modelling. These methods were used to evaluate and compare the impacts of several EfW strategies in the UK administrative areas of Cornwall and Warwickshire. Different strategies have been defined by the size and number of the EfW facilities, as well as the technology chosen, which includes conventional incineration and advanced thermal treatment. The overall conclusion of this work is that distributed small-scale EfW facilities score most highly overall on the chosen decision criteria and that scale is more important than technology design in determining overall EfW policy impact.
