Suzhou Waste-to-energy Project Phase I

"Constructing high quality projects and creating outstanding works" Suzhou Waste-to-energy Project Phase I is the first wholly-owned environmental protection project constructed and operated by the Group. The total investment cost of the project is approximately RMB489,443,000. The term of exclusive right of operation is 25 years and the power plant has been constructed on "BOT" basis. The power plant is equipped with three waste incinerators with a respective processing capacity of 350-tonnes per day and two 9,000 kilo-watt generators. Construction of the project duly commenced in October 2004 and commercial operation duly commenced on 18 July 2006. With its designed average waste processing capacity of 1,000 tonnes per day, the power plant is designed to supply no less than 100,000,000 kilowatt-hour of electricity to the power grid per year during the term of exclusive right of operation. The plant has been operating smoothly with emission levels meeting required standards. Its operating performance has reached the designed parameters. Supported by favorable environmental protection policy, the project was approved an increase of on-grid electricity tariff from RMB0.5 per kilowatt-hour as stipulated in the concession right agreement to RMB0.575 per kilowatt-hour, which significantly increased its operation service revenue. Besides, gas emission of the power plant met the Euro I emission standard, and particularly the emission of dioxin met the Euro II emission standard and is better than the PRC regulatory requirement. In order to raise operational standards, the project company has applied to Suzhou Environmental Protection Department to link up its online gas emission monitoring system with the network of Suzhou Environmental Monitoring Team's monitoring centre. The project is the first waste-to-energy project in Jiangsu Province which is under online monitoring by environmental protection department.


Suzhou Methane-to-energy Project Phase I and Phase II

Suzhou Everbright National Demonstrative Veinous Industrial Park Projects

"Making the area a base for environmental education and promotion in Suzhou, establishing it as a beautiful industrial zone" In July 2005, the Group entered into a framework letter of intent in respect of the construction of Suzhou Everbright Environmental Protection Industrial Zone with the Municipal Government of Mudu Town, Wuzhong District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. In 2007, the State Environmental Science Institute has completed the new "Construction Plan Guidelines" of Suzhou Everbright Environmental Protection Industrial Zone and the project has been formally renamed "Suzhou Everbright National Demonstrative Veinous Industrial Park" ("Suzhou Veinous Park"). The project is the country's first integrated park for environmental protection to centralize the disposal of municipal solid waste. According to the new construction plan, Suzhou Veinous Park will occupy an area of approximately 2.5 square kilometers and due to a large increase in the number of development projects, the original estimated total investment cost of approximately HK$1,500,000,000 is expected to increase substantially. Through comprehensive planning and centralization of management, the whole project will be implemented in phases over 3 to 5 years.

A number of projects inside Suzhou Veinous Park have already been completed, including the Waste-to-energy Project Phase I, the Methane-to-energy Project Phase I and Phase II and the Industrial Solid Waste Landfill Project Phase I. As for projects under construction, they include the Waste-to-energy Project Phase II and a leachate treatment plant. The projects to be developed include a sludge treatment centre, a solid waste technology development and research centre, the Waste-to- energy Project Phase III and an electronic waste recycling centre, etc.


Yixing Waste-to-energy Project

"Establishing a waste-to-energy pioneer project with domestic equipment based on imported technology" In April 2005, the Group entered into an undertaking in respect of exclusive right of operation with the Construction Bureau of Yixing City. Pursuant to which a waste-to-energy plant will be constructed in Yixing City. The total investment cost of the project is RMB238,300,000. The term of exclusive right of operation is 25 years and the power plant will be constructed on "BOT" basis. The plant is equipped with two waste incinerators, each with a respective processing capacity of 250 tonnes per day and a 9,000 kilo-watt generator. The construction of Yixing Waste- to-energy Project duly commenced in September 2005 and the plant started commercial operation in June 2007. The on- grid electricity tariff is RMB0.646 per kilowatt-hour. According to its development plan, the project's designed waste processing capacity is 500 tonnes per day and is expected to supply no less than 44,500,000 kilowatt-hour of electricity to the power grid per year during the term of exclusive right of operation. The project is the Group's first waste-to-energy pioneer project with domestic equipment based on imported technology. After one and a half years of operation, it proved that waste-to-energy plant constructed with domestic equipment developed from imported technology could also operate smoothly and successfully, with dioxin emission complying with Euro II standard. It offers the Company an alternate choice of construction when constructing other waste-to-energy plants in the future. Like Suzhou Waste- to-energy Project Phase I, the project company has applied to the local environmental protection department to link up its online gas emission monitoring system with the network of the environmental protection department for the purpose of online emission monitoring by the government.

For the waste-to-energy industry, the processing of leachate is a difficult problem. The Group has chosen Yixing Waste-to- energy Project to be the country's first waste-to-energy plant to treat leachate according to Grade 1A standard and the treated water can be used as recycled water and for plantation. The said project has demonstrated a technological breakthrough in the environmental protection industry of the PRC. The related experience will be applied to the other waste-to-energy projects of the Group. In order to fully utilize the methane produced by leachate treatment, a 120-kilowatt methane-gas power generator was installed. In December 2008, the generator commenced generation of power. At present, its average daily generation output is more than 1,000 kilowatt-hour of electricity. The electricity output has been for our own use, resulting in the decrease of electricity cost. Yixing Project Company was also approved to increase waste processing fee to RMB74.13 per tonne from 1 January 2008.
