China will promote the recycling of gas emitted from untreated waste landfills
in the coming decade as part of its efforts to substantially reduce the emission
of greenhouse gas. On Wednesday, China\'s State Environmental Protection
Administration (SEPA) announced the establishment of new facilities to recycle
gas emitted from landfills into electric power and clean fuel. According to the
national action plan, the new recycling system will eventually be implemented
nationwide, based on several pilot projects in large cities over the next five
years. According to the SEPA, China produces about 140 million tons of garbage
annually, of which 90 percent is dumped, untreated, into landfills. The
untreated waste has not only generated serious air and water pollution, but has
also emitted what experts term \"landfill gas\", consisting principally of
methane, an important greenhouse gas. SEPA sources note that the potential
greenhouse effect of the equivalent amount of methane is 21 times that of carbon
dioxide. The Chinese government has ratified the Kyoto Protocol, which calls for
global action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, vowing to shoulder its
responsibility as a developing country. The SEPA has helped three cities to
establish and operate facilities for landfill gas recovery and recycling with
technological and financial support from United Nations agencies. Implementation
of the new system remains difficult for most cities due to the shortage of funds
for the establishment and operation of advanced facilities because in China,
disposal of therefuse is funded by the government, with no private sector
support. To address this problem, the national action plan contains a proposal
for the introduction of a fee-charging system for the garbage disposal sector in
order to attract private investors. The plan also suggests that preferential
policies with regard to prices, taxes and tariff exemptions could be implemented
as incentives to encourage more businesses to participate in the new recycling
effort. Zdroj:http://english.peopledaily.com.cn
