Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) is becoming increasingly relevant as waste-management systems seek alternatives to landfill disposal while energy-intensive industries look for substitute fuels. Produced from selected combustible fractions of municipal, commercial, and industrial waste, RDF can be processed into forms such as pellets, shredded material, briquettes, or powder for use in cement manufacturing, power generation, industrial boilers, district heating, and other applications.
According to a Refuse-Derived Fuel industry report, the sector was valued at USD 8.24 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 10.26 billion in 2026 and USD 16.27 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 7.99% during 2026–2032. Europe accounts for approximately 52% of the sector in 2026, while cement manufacturing represents around 52% of global RDF consumption. Medium-calorific-value RDF holds approximately 48% of total market volume.
