This project establishes a 30 MW biomass power plant in Longan County, Guangxi, China, to generate clean electricity and supply heat using locally sourced biomass residues. The plant utilizes agricultural and forestry waste, such as bark, wood scraps, and rice straw, which would otherwise be left to decay or burned in an uncontrolled manner, leading to methane and CO₂ emissions.
The project installs a high-efficiency 130 t/h biomass combustion boiler and a 30 MW steam turbine generator. It is expected to generate 194.4 GWh of electricity annually, which is supplied to the South China Power Grid, replacing coal-based electricity generation. Additionally, heat is supplied to industrial users, reducing reliance on fossil fuel-fired boilers.
Key benefits of the project include:
By replacing fossil fuels with biomass, this project aligns with China’s renewable energy goals and contributes to a cleaner, more sustainable energy system.
