In 2020, the scale of waste incineration power generation will not be less than 250 billion, which is highly valued by the state

    As one of the main methods of harmless treatment of domestic waste in my country, waste incineration power generation has already shouldered the important task of "strengthening ecological environmental protection and making up for the shortcomings in the field of people's livelihood".Benefiting from favorable policies, the size of the waste incineration power generation market has also continued to expand, and it is expected to exceed 250 billion yuan in 2020.

    In the process of ecological civilization construction and new urbanization construction, the problem of garbage siege is becoming more and more serious.According to the inquiry, from 2007 to 2015, my country's urbanization rate has risen by more than 10%, and according to the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the urbanization rate of my country's permanent population will increase to 60% by 2020.The increase in urbanization rate doubles the pressure on waste disposal.

    The landfills in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and developed coastal cities have long been saturated. Where will the more than 400 million tons of waste to be treated in the next few years go? There is only one answer: turning waste into treasure and incinerating it to generate electricity.

    Waste incineration power generation conforms to "harmless, reduced, and recycled", and after more than 20 years of development in China, both equipment and technology are becoming more and more mature.Therefore, during the "Thirteenth Five-Year" period, waste incineration power generation shoulders the important task of "strengthening the ecological environment protection and making up for the shortcomings in the field of people's livelihood", which is valued by the country.

    An industry professional who did not want to be named revealed that due to the huge pressure of the growing volume of domestic waste and the environmental pollution caused by simple landfills, the state requires county-level cities to build garbage during the ”Thirteenth Five-Year” period. Incineration power generation projects, the number of projects is expected to be no less than 100.

    Statistics show that as of 2017, the cumulative installed capacity of waste incineration power generation in my country is about 7.3 million kilowatts, and there are 339 waste incineration power generation projects, with an annual power generation of about 37.5 billion kilowatt-hours and an annual garbage disposal volume of more than 100 million tons.From January to June 2018, about 50 new waste incineration power generation projects were signed, which is enough to confirm the rapid development of my country's domestic waste incineration power generation industry.

    According to the requirements of the ""Thirteenth Five-Year" National Urban Household Waste Harmless Treatment Facilities Construction Plan" and other policies, by the end of 2020, the urban household waste incineration capacity will account for more than 50% of the total harmless treatment capacity, of which The eastern region reached more than 60%.

    As a policy-supported industry, the policy of waste incineration power generation is favorable for fermentation, and the market size is expected to reach 250 billion yuan in 2020, which greatly stimulates the influx of social capital.

    According to Lao Cui's observation, due to various preferential policies, waste incineration projects are frequently implemented, and the investment window is wide open, which also attracts companies such as Green Power (601330), Everbright International, Sanfeng Environment, and Dongjiang Environmental Protection (002672) to set up their layouts. , to further enhance the industry's popularity.

    Since entering the "Thirteenth Five-Year", the prosperity of waste incineration power generation has remained high, but it is not without problems.Lao Cui, a friend of the waste incineration industry, said that compared with the growth rate of domestic waste volume, my country's waste incineration power generation processing capacity is still insufficient. To turn waste into treasure, more waste incineration power plants need to be built.

    Xu Haiyun, chief engineer of the China Urban Construction Research Institute, pointed out that "From the perspective of geographical distribution, domestic waste incineration power generation in my country is mainly concentrated in places with a large population, high GDP and better local financial status."The waste in backward areas The level of incineration power generation will become a major shortcoming.

    In addition, the difficulty in popularizing and popularizing waste classification, the existence of malicious competition at low prices in the industry, and the lack of synergy between various departments in waste incineration treatment are not conducive to waste incineration power generation to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and facilitate a perfect long-term mechanism.

    In addition to the above, Lao Cui also found that at the moment when waste incineration power generation is in full swing, the "NIMBY effect" still exists and is prominent. , and the publicity mechanism of newly built waste incineration plants is not perfect, and more attention needs to be paid.

    Therefore, domestic waste incineration for power generation has opened up a huge industry market space. However, if it is to be truly promoted and implemented, accepted by the public, and the industry can sustainably prosper, efforts must be made to solve problems such as the NIMBY effect and clean development.
