Energy from Waste
Thanks to investment in several key, purpose-built fuel production sites across the country, GASKELLS is able to help customers to fulfil their zero waste to landfill ambitions by turning your residual waste into fuel.
We produce fuels to a client’s specification from residual waste, using a range of processing techniques including sorting, trommelling and shredding. The resulting products are used to generate energy at recovery facilities, helping customers to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and avoid landfilling this residual waste.
Solid recovered fuel
Solid recovered fuel is a high quality alternative to fossil fuel produced from commercial waste including paper, card, wood, textiles and plastic. It can be produced to a range of specifications to meet customer requirements.
With a moisture content of less than 15 per cent, solid recovered fuel has a high calorific value and is used in facilities such as cement kilns.

A guide to solid recovered fuel
Refuse derived fuel
Refuse derived fuel is made from domestic waste which includes biodegradable material as well as plastics, and has a lower calorific value than solid recovered fuel. Refuse derived fuel is used in combined heat and power facilities, many of them in Europe where they produce electricity and hot water for communal heating systems in the local area.
Compared to landfilling, the lower carbon emissions resulting from this approach to processing waste far outweigh the emissions associated with transporting the reclaimed fuel.
Gaskells is one of the largest producer of solid recovered fuel and refuse derived fuel in the country. We are able to use our network of facilities and ports to supply this material to customers both in the UK and in Europe. We are experienced in the production, transport and testing of these products and have the ability to tailor these products to individual customer needs.
