the project, expected to be completed in october , will cost 670 million yuan (80.7 million u.s. dollars), including a low-interest loan of 30.17 million offered by the french government.
the majority of the loan will be used to buy some key technology and equipment from france for the new power plant, an official surnamed tao who is responsible for the construction of the plant and the installation of the equipment was quoted as saying.
the plant will keep a close eye on the discharge of waste gas and smoke and fume emissions in accordance with the emission standards set by the european union, said the official, adding that the new plant will become a pilot project for neighboring areas of shanghai and other big cities in terms of rubbish disposal.
shanghai now yields more than 10,000 tons of household waste every day, of which about 80 percent is buried after a fermenting procedure to decrease harmful elements.
china's first home-made rubbish power plant operational
china's first power plant using homemade equipment for generating electricity with rubbish was put into operation recently in east china's zhejiang province.
costing a total investment of 90 million yuan (us$10.84 million), this non-government-run plant is able to handle 320 tons of rubbish per day and generate 25 million kwh of electricity per year.
smoke and gas discharged after treatment, tested by the chinese academy of sciences, has measured up to the environmental standard set by the country.
the non-government environmental protection movement in china
on environment day (june 5) of 1993, a group of chinese intellectuals sat in the ruins of a pagoda in the suburbs of beijing, and discussed the current lamentable state of china's environment, and what common citizens could do to salvage and protect it. a year later, the friends of nature, the first non-government environmental protection organization in china, was founded. the organization, with its slogan "protecting and being friendly to nature," indicates the common recognition among chinese people of the need for environmental awareness.
in the years that followed, chinese non-government environmental protection organizations mushroomed. the most influential ones include the friends of nature, the green earth volunteers, the global village of beijing (gvb), and senol. members of these organizations look squarely at environment pollution and bravely admit the fact that the progress of industrialization generates negative effects. while struggling to find their own ways of dealing with this huge problem, they also hope to learn from the experience of developed countries in environmental protection.
