Relevance to QII
The project transfers waste into useful resources such as electricity, biogas and biodiesel, facilitating the sustainable development. It improves air quality and slows climate change with a reduction of 340 thousand tons of carbon dioxideannually.
The capacity of resisting natural disasters such as flood, geologic hazard has been considered in the project design.
During the construction and operation of the project, many jobs have been created. The SPV pay attention to the issue such as occupational health and safety, capacity building, etc.
China has established a comprehensive legal framework for PPP, including PPP regulations, policies, guidelines, standard contract etc. PPP units have been set up both at central and local level. PPP project information have been disclosed on the national PPP platform to ensure transparency.
Benefits
Expected and realised benefits
- Three subprojects are placed in one zone to achieve the co-processing of urban waste.
- Reduce 340 thousand tons of carbon dioxide annually.
- Turn waste into wealth such as electricity, biogas, biodiesel.
Metrics
Conduct performance monitoring report, mid-term performance evaluation and post-value-for-money evaluation to ensure the project outputs meet the standards agreed in the PPP contract.
