In the "14th Five-Year Plan" Guangdong will build 30 incineration power plants

The relevant plan also said that in principle, no new primary domestic waste landfills will be built

On December 30, 2021, the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of Guangdong Province and the Development and Reform Commission of Guangdong Province issued a notice on the 14th Five-Year Plan for the Treatment of Domestic Waste in Guangdong Province (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Guangdong plans to invest 34.4 billion yuan to build 30 incineration power plant projects. ■ New Express reporter Wang Tong

It is estimated that by 2025, the province's domestic waste treatment capacity demand will be 150,000 to 160,000 tons per day

During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, Guangdong built a total of 80 harmless domestic waste treatment sites (factories), with a new treatment capacity of 91,000 tons / day, and the total capacity of domestic waste treatment exceeded the amount of domestic waste for the first time. By the end of 2020, there are 149 harmless treatment sites (factories) for domestic waste, with a treatment capacity of 146,000 tons / day, the harmless treatment rate of domestic waste has reached 99.95%, and the number of facilities and treatment capacity have ranked first in the country.

Although the harmless treatment rate of domestic waste has reached more than 99%, the incineration capacity of domestic waste accounts for 67%, and there is a certain gap between the newly issued document requirements of the state and advanced provinces, and the incineration capacity of domestic waste in Guangdong needs to be improved.

The plan proposes that according to the "Implementation Plan for the Strengths and Weaknesses of The Classification and Treatment Facilities of Urban Domestic Waste" (No. 1257 [2020] of the Development and Reform Of Environmental Protection), "in areas with a daily domestic waste volume of more than 300 tons, it is necessary to accelerate the development of incineration-based garbage treatment methods ... by 2023, basically achieve 'zero landfill' of primary domestic waste", and as of the end of 2020, Heyuan, Qingyuan and Yunfu Cities have not yet built domestic waste incineration treatment facilities.

In 2020, the incineration capacity of domestic waste in Jiangsu Province will account for more than 80%, and Zhejiang will basically achieve "zero landfill" of primary domestic waste, while the incineration capacity of domestic waste in Guangdong Province will account for only 67%. Therefore, Guangdong needs to compare with national requirements and at the same time align with advanced provinces to further improve the capacity of domestic waste incineration.

According to the trend of changes in the amount of domestic garbage removal in recent years, combined with the actual situation of population development trend and the process of domestic garbage classification, it is planned that the amount of domestic garbage removal and transportation in the province will be about 135,800 tons / day in 2025. Considering the seasonal fluctuations in the amount of domestic waste generated, the fault maintenance of treatment facilities, typhoons, heavy rains and other special circumstances, it is necessary to have a certain surplus treatment capacity, according to the principle of moderate advancement, multiplied by a coefficient of 1.1 to 1.2, it is expected that the demand for domestic waste treatment capacity in the province in 2025 will be 150,000 to 160,000 tons / day.

The total investment is 34.4 billion yuan, and 30 incineration power generation projects will be built

It is reported that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Guangdong plans to build 30 incineration power generation projects, with a new treatment capacity of 51,050 tons / day. In terms of regional distribution, 17 incineration power plant projects are planned to be built in the Pearl River Delta region, 6 incineration power plant projects are planned to be built in eastern Guangdong, 3 incineration power plant projects are planned to be built in western Guangdong, and 4 incineration power plant projects are planned to be built in the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong. From 2021 to 2023, 24 incineration power generation projects are planned to be built, with a new processing capacity of 42,350 tons / day。

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the total investment in the construction of incineration power generation projects in the province was about 34.4 billion yuan; according to the investment area, the Pearl River Delta region invested about 26.7 billion yuan, the eastern Guangdong region invested about 3.5 billion yuan, the western Guangdong region invested about 1.1 billion yuan, and the northern Guangdong mountainous area invested about 3.1 billion yuan.

Correspondingly, the promotion of domestic garbage is also based on local conditions and is promoted in three gradients. Guangzhou and Shenzhen took the lead in building an integrated urban-rural system for the classification and treatment of domestic garbage; other cities in the Pearl River Delta region strive to complete the task of basically completing the domestic garbage classification and treatment system ahead of schedule; and cities in eastern Guangdong, western Guangdong, and northern Guangdong ensure that the construction of a domestic garbage classification and treatment system is completed on time.

In principle, no new primary domestic waste landfills will be built

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Guangdong will comprehensively promote the construction of incineration treatment facilities. In areas where the amount of domestic garbage removal exceeds 300 tons / day, accelerate the development of incineration-based garbage treatment methods, according to the amount of domestic garbage removal and transportation in the region, moderately advance the construction of garbage incineration treatment facilities, increase the proportion of incineration capacity, and achieve "zero landfill" of primary domestic garbage in conditional areas.

The plan specifically mentions that the construction of domestic waste incineration treatment facilities with a daily treatment capacity of less than 300 tons is not encouraged. Cities at or above the local level and counties (cities) with incineration treatment capacity will no longer build new primary domestic waste landfills in principle, and existing sanitary landfills are mainly used as the final disposal sites for garbage incineration products and emergency support facilities for harmless garbage treatment. On the basis of comprehensively finding out the remaining storage capacity of the existing sanitary landfill, combined with the construction of regional waste incineration facilities, the "bottom-up" treatment guarantee function of the sanitary landfill is brought into play. For areas that do not have the capacity to build incineration treatment, it is possible to plan and build domestic waste landfills that meet the standards. For areas dominated by incineration treatment, it is also necessary to have a certain scale of domestic waste landfills as a guarantee facility.

Strictly control excessive packaging of commodities and implement the listing of clean vegetables

The plan also proposes to improve the classification system of the whole chain. Promote source reduction by promoting ecological design, promoting the establishment of a garbage classification and labeling system, strictly controlling excessive packaging of goods, promoting the green development of express delivery and other industries, strengthening plastic pollution control, restricting the supply of disposable supplies, advocating "disc action", promoting green procurement and paperless office, and implementing clean vegetable listing.

In addition, we will build and improve the matching classification transportation system. Communities with property management should do a good job in connecting property units and environmental sanitation departments; give play to the active role of neighborhood committees in organizing community environmental improvement and domestic garbage removal and transportation in communities without property management, and strengthen the orderly connection with property units and domestic garbage removal units. Explore the establishment of a "no classification, no collection and transportation" forced mechanism.
