Project Report of the MBT Jiangsu – Hightech Waste Processing for China

Waste incineration technology was introduced in China in the late 1980's and it developed rapidly in the 1990's. More than 30 large and medium-size cities operate or are building waste incineration plants. Nowadays thereare approx. 166 waste incinerators in operation, with a total capacity of 46.3 million tonsper annum. Waste-to-Energy (WtE) conversion processes are expected to play an increasingly important role in China's sustainability management of municipal solid waste. The WtE approach in China is under a rapid growth, mainly it can dramatically reduce the demand for landfills but can also lessen the countries dependence on fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
