The NAMA Support Project China Integrated Waste Management (IWM NAMA) project aims to reduce GHG emissions of China’s waste sector and induce a transformational change in the way waste is handled through increasing the attractiveness of IWM and waste-to-energy solutions as financially sustainable low-carbon investment options. The supporting measures include:

  • Technical support regarding optimizing the efficiency of waste treatment facilities
  • Policy recommendations on upgrading an integrated waste management system
  • Capacity-building on “best practices of IWM”, introduction of EPR, waste prevention/3Rs etc.
  • Awareness-raising to promote waste segregation at source

Tai’an has recently upgraded its waste incineration plant and will soon implement a number of improvements to its biogas plant for restaurant and kitchen waste in the framework of the NAMA project.

The project boundary of Tai’an City includes Taishan and Daiyue Districts, covering an area of 130 square kilometres. The Tai’an Environmental Sanitation Office under the Municipal Management Bureau is the authority responsible for waste management in the city.

How would IWM NAMA
project support the city to improve its
integrated waste management?

Technical support regarding monitoring and quantification of landfill gas leakages

Operation optimization and recommendations on enhancing energy efficiency of the incineration plant

Technical know-how in shifting the technology from the current fluidized bed to a moving grate incineration

Operation optimization and technological improvement for the restaurant and kitchen waste treatment plant

Guidance on enhancing supervision of the environmental performance and management of the incineration plant

Capacity-building on “best practice of IWM”, data collection and management, introduction of EPR, waste prevention/3Rs etc.

Policy recommendations on development of a waste charging scheme based on “polluter-pays-principle”

Technical know-how & advice on IT solutions to improve data collection and management on MSW and GHG emissions from the waste sector

Awareness-raising to promote waste prevention/reduction with the focus on hotels and tourists

GHG emissions from the waste sector*

GHG IN TONS
  • Business-as-usual (BAU) scenario (tCO2e/y)
  • Integrated Waste Management (IWM) Scenario (tCO2e/y)
* the GHG emissions data provided for the year 2022 (both BAU and IWM Scenarios) is indicative. The emissions associated with the IWM Scenario are forecasted by the project team on the basis of activities that are to be implemented within the scope of the IWM NAMA project under its direct (technical assistance) and indirect (framework conditions) support. Every year, the actual data on emissions will be updated as result of GHG emissions monitoring and published on the website.
