German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation
German term or phrase: Annahmevergütung
Context:
"Neben fossilen Brennstoffen werden in Industrieprozessen zunehmend nicht oder nur teilweise aufbereitete Siedlungsabfälle, Ersatzbrennstoffe, Biomassen, produktionseigene Rückstände und andere Reststoffe als Energieträger eingesetzt. Trotz aufwendiger Anlagentechnik lassen sich bei Einsatz von solchen alternativen Brennstoffen aufgrund der Annahmevergütung und somit niedrigen Gestehungskosten die Energiekosten im Unternehmen senken."

Thanks in advance.

English translation:acceptance fee
Explanation:
This is most likely the fee paid by the waste "supplier" to the company that recycles it to generate energy.

e.g.
http://www.epa.gov/EPA-WASTE/2007/March/Day-26/f5159.htm

"... Recycling by these firms would thus be driven
primarily by the potential revenues from the recycled product, and not by other factors such as an acceptance fee. ... For commercial firms in particular, the acceptance fee is likely to be a much more prevalent factor in the firm's revenue structure when the recycled product has a low value."
