Why are RDF suppliers paying for thermal utilization?

Suppliers pay a fee to Infraserv Höchst for thermally utilizing their refuse-derived fuel because the equipment needed to combust RDF is significantly more expensive to purchase, maintain and operate than coal or gas firing systems. This is the only financially feasible way to meet the environmental targets laid out in the 17th BImSchV, TA Luft and all the other regulations that govern plant operations.
