Water Quality Management
Water quality management is key action area of co-benefits projects. Wastewater discharged from some industries and households in urban areas may case waste pollution if not properly treated. However, by introducing integrated measures, chemical oxygen demand (COD) or biological oxygen demand (BOD) can be reduced and GHG emissions can be curbed (e.g. CH4 collection and energy utilization).
Beijing Gao Beidian Sewage Treatment Plant Construction Project
This project was conducted under the Japanese ODA loan from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). In addition, the Beijing City Government introduced digesters for recovering biogas (CH4) from sludge for energy use. This combination project ensures proper treatment of 500,000 m3/day of wastewater while reduction GHG emissions.
