Confirmed facts
A claim is verified only when traceable to a current primary or credible source. Country statistics retain their reporting year and are not silently treated as current-year measurements.

Methodology & Assumptions
Facts use traceable sources, industry benchmarks remain labelled, and modelled outputs are scenarios rather than guaranteed plant performance.
VERIFIED FACT
INDUSTRY BENCHMARK
INDICATIVE SCENARIO
Project status
Statuses follow explicit source language and dated milestones. An old announcement never becomes a current project automatically. Unclear cases are marked STATUS UNDER VERIFICATION.
Bottom ash & metals
Mass-balance values are adjustable engineering assumptions. The approximately 2% non-ferrous default is a European industry benchmark, never a measured country or plant value.
Energy calculations
Net electricity is calculated as annual residual-waste throughput multiplied by an editable net MWh-per-tonne assumption. Heat and cooling are excluded unless separately modelled.
Carbon calculations
Avoided COâ‚‚ is not calculated without a visible methodology covering the landfill baseline, methane capture, electricity mix, transport and material substitution.
Update frequency
Market dossiers show a prominent last-verified date. Project entries should be rechecked against official or operator sources before investment or procurement reliance.
