Ottowa-based Plasco Energy Group has announced a partnership with China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection (CECEP) Group on a new WTE plant to be built in Beijing, China. The plant is planned to process 300 tons (272 tonnes) per day and be operational by the second quarter of 2012. It is expected to cost around $170 million to build and will earn revenues from disposal fees and from selling the power produced.
CECEP Plasco China, as the facility will be known, will benefit from Plasco Conversion System technology. CECEP will also be looking into using this system for other WTE projects in China. ‘We can make a big difference in cutting global warming-causing gasses from landfill in the world's fastest growing economy with one of the largest populations on earth through this partnership,’ said Plasco CEO Rod Bryden. ‘This technology, developed right here in Ottawa, can help communities all around the world to handle waste and contribute to our green energy future starting right now.’
‘The opportunity presented by this joint venture between CECEP and Plasco Energy Group is truly exciting for both companies,’ said Wang Xiaokang, President of CECEP. ‘Soon, not only Ottawa and Beijing, but communities across all of China will handle their municipal waste in the most environmentally friendly way, producing clean, reliable energy and usable materials. Garbage will truly become a resource rather than a waste.’
