Air Quality Management

Air Pollution has become a serious problem in many countries, especially where rapid industrial development is taking in place. Pollution substances (e.g. Sox, NOx and dust) can cause serious health damage, but may be co-controlled together with GHGs by taking integrated measures.
Comprehensive Utilization of Waste Coal Gas for Electricity Generation Project in Shaanxi Xinglong Cogeneration Co. Ltd.
imageThis CDM project will reduce GHG emissions by introducing a gas boiler and steam turbine for generating electricity from waste coal gas. The project will avoid dust pollution caused by the existing open flaring system, and wastewater will be recycled through a circulation system.
Project cost Phase I 89.22 million yuan & Phase II 115.00 million yuan
Project term 21years starting in September 2007 / Crediting period 7years
(September 2007- August 2014)
Benefits GHG Mitigation 270,045tCO2/year
Air Quality Management SO2 0.232t/year / Dust 21,065t/year
As of 06 April 2007
