Abstract	Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) is generated by selected Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) fractions. Due to MSW composition changes by location, it is challenging to sell RDF as a product in the market. This article compiles the significant standards and rules governing RDF manufacture and usage. Additionally, it emphasizes the key actors that have already made a business of its commercialization and energy production through thermochemical processes. Combustion is the most often utilized thermochemical process, and this paper gathers information from several works on the combustion of RDF and RDF blends. Pyrolysis and gasification are also discussed, along with the primary benefits and drawbacks of RDF usage. Finally, the market's potential and significant constraints are examined. The primary constraint is the RDF price due to commercialization fees. However, RDF is aligned with the circular economy, sustainable development goals, and CO2 reductions by avoiding the extraction of new fossil fuels.
