Key Environmental Benefits

1. Reduction of Greenhouse Gases: The project reduces greenhouse gas emissions by replacing coal-based electricity from the grid. Additionally, by using surplus biomass that would otherwise decay or be burned in uncontrolled conditions, it prevents methane (CH4) emissions. The project is expected to cut 136,170 tons of CO2 annually, and a total of 848,967 tons over its second crediting period.
2. Cleaner Energy: By utilizing renewable biomass instead of coal, the project contributes to cleaner electricity generation and improves the local environment by preventing the harmful pollutants that arise from uncontrolled biomass burning or decay.

Positive Economic and Social Impact

1. Local Power Supply: The project helps reduce coal consumption and addresses local power shortages, contributing to regional energy security.
2. Income for Farmers: Local farmers benefit by selling agricultural residues to the plant, turning waste into an additional source of income. Additionally, ash produced from the biomass combustion is returned to farmland as fertilizer, promoting sustainable farming practices.
3. Job Creation: The project has created 123 jobs for plant operation and maintenance, as well as additional employment in the collection, storage, and transportation of biomass.

Technological Highlights

The plant is equipped with a 130 t/h boiler and a 30 MW steam turbine. These components are designed with high efficiency and durability, ensuring smooth operation. The technology, authorized by Denmark’s BWE Company, has been used successfully in Denmark for over a decade. The plant also features an advanced air-cooled system and a high-efficiency dust catcher, which removes over 99.5% of particulate emissions.

Contribution to Sustainable Development

This biomass project supports sustainable development in multiple ways. It makes productive use of agricultural waste, helps lower reliance on fossil fuels, reduces pollution, and provides economic benefits to the local community. By promoting advanced technology and creating jobs, the project also fosters industrial growth and contributes to China’s energy transition towards renewable sources.

The project was registered with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on April 1, 2008, ensuring its commitment to verified carbon emission reductions.
