1. Low Carbon Emissions

The Ningbo Project is a pilot project under the China–Austria intergovernmental industry–academia–research cooperation program of China's National Key Research and Development Program.

In 2023, the project became the first waste-to-energy plant in China to install a real-time carbon emissions monitoring system integrated with an intelligent combustion system. After more than one year of commissioning and optimization, the system has been operating reliably. It achieves a monitoring accuracy of over 92% with data updates every five minutes, making it the industry's first high-precision, real-time online carbon emissions monitoring system. The intelligent combustion system is expected to improve boiler efficiency by 2.5%, significantly enhancing overall energy efficiency. The integrated application of these technologies has become one of the key solutions for improving efficiency, reducing pollution, and lowering carbon emissions in the waste-to-energy industry.

2. Ultra-Clean Emissions

The Ningbo Project adopts a seven-stage flue gas treatment process. Its flue gas emissions comply with standards that are stricter than both the Chinese national standard (GB 18485-2014) and the European Union Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU).

3. Intelligent Operation

The Ningbo Project is equipped with an Automatic Combustion Control (ACC) system, which minimizes fluctuations during the waste incineration process, improves operational stability, and significantly enhances both combustion efficiency and power generation efficiency.

4. Multi-Source Synergy

The Ningbo Municipal Solid Waste Treatment Center consists of the municipal waste-to-energy plant (this project), a food waste treatment plant, and a kitchen waste treatment plant. Following the principles of unified planning, unified site selection, and coordinated implementation, the three facilities share supporting infrastructure, including waste logistics, communications, water supply and drainage, and flood control systems.

Each facility performs its designated function while working together to process municipal solid waste generated in Ningbo's central urban area. Oversized residues produced by the food waste and kitchen waste treatment plants are transferred to the waste-to-energy plant for thermal treatment, enabling the recycling of materials and energy. This integrated treatment model improves resource recovery and enables Ningbo to achieve zero landfill for municipal solid waste.
