The first clean development mechanism implementation project for biogas power generation in China

A landfill biogas power plant in Nanjing is the first registered landfill gas power generation project in China and the first enterprise in China to complete substantial carbon reduction transactions internationally. This biogas power generation project is also the first domestic landfill gas power generation project that utilizes independent intellectual property technology, is constructed and successfully operated through domestic investment. It has attracted the attention and inspection of national leaders, and has been widely reported by international media. CNN, a cable television news network in the United States, has sent personnel to conduct special reports. The landfill biogas power plant generates approximately 10 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually, equivalent to saving 10000 tons of standard coal.

The project started construction in 2005, and all technologies involved in drilling, gas production, gas transmission, purification, and internet access are using domestic technology. The project ordered the LWG500 biogas generator unit produced by Jiangsu Shengyuan and specially customized the container structure form. The operation of biogas generator units is stable, and the operating and maintenance costs are significantly lower than the imported units used in the early stage

This power generation project is the first biogas comprehensive utilization carbon emission reduction trading unit certified by the Executive Council of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (EB) in China.
