The Illinois Department of Energy and Natural Resources (IDENR) is pleased to publish this inventory of waste-to-energy facilities in this state. The passage of the 1986 Illinois Solid Waste Management Act was responsible for the establishment of the Office of Solid Waste and Renewable Resources within the agency, and established the following priorities for the solid waste management options in the state: 1. waste reduction 2. recycling and reuse 3. incineration for energy recovery 4. incineration for volume reduction 5. landfill disposal. The waste-to-energy facilities listed in this publication address a major objective of this legislation and provide an important portion of the strategy in addressing the goals of the Solid Waste Management Act. This inventory is intended as a guide to waste-to-energy facilities in Illinois. Inclusion of engineering, construction, or other firms in this inventory does not in any way indicate an endorsement by the ENR, but are strictly for information purposes.
