Linshu biogas recovery

Transforming harmful greenhouse gas emissions into green energy

China
project_image_302688.jpg

In China's manufacturing sector, wastewater from production activities is often stored in open lagoons which, due to anaerobic reactions, leads to the release of large amounts of methane. Methane, as a GHG, is significantly more potent than CO2 and by trapping heat is estimated to be responsible for ≈25% of global warming. Finding innovative solutions to deal with manufacturing wastewater is crucial in tackling climate breakdown and maintaining the health of global ecosystems.

Sustainable Development Goals

1. No Poverty

22 people

with improved livelihoods  

4. Quality Education

At least 4 trainings

delivered to employees each year

7. Affordable and Clean Energy

93,000 MWh  

of electricity generated on average per year  

13. Climate Action

359,000 tonnes of CO2e  

reduced on average annually  

The Solution

By capturing gas from wastewater lagoons and converting it into electricity, the Linshu project, located in the Eastern  Shandong Province of China, reduces business-as-usual emissions from entering the environment by converting it into renewable electricity. This electricity is then fed back into the industrial plant for energy thus displacing energy that was previously acquired from fossil fuel sources.

The Impact

The project effectively reduces emissions by displacing energy that would otherwise be supplied to the industrial plant from the burning of fossil fuels. In addition, the implementation of an anaerobic biogas recovery system mitigates methane from entering the environment - thus reducing greenhouse gases in multiple ways. Finally, the projects create employment opportunities, through both the construction and operational phases of the plant boosting the local economy.
