Described by some as being a new type of NIMBY protest, [2] the roots of the anti-incinerator movement can be traced back to the early 1990s, following the introduction of China's first generation of incinerator plants. [3] The movement, however, began in earnest with the benchmark 2006 Liulitun protest taking place in Beijing.
Plasma gasification is in commercial use as a waste-to-energy system that converts municipal solid waste, tires, hazardous waste, and sewage sludge into synthesis gas containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide that can be used to generate power. Municipal-scale waste disposal plasma arc facilities have been in operation in Japan and China since 2002.
The protests that began on June 28, 2019 [126] in Wuhan against a proposed incinerator [127] typify the anti-incinerator movement in China. People took to the streets to force the local government to move the location of the proposed incinerator. [128] The protests were met with violence from the police. [129]
The Macau Refuse Incineration Plant (MRIP; traditional Chinese: 澳門垃圾焚化中心; simplified Chinese: 澳门垃圾焚化中心; pinyin: Àomén Lèsè Fénhuà Zhōngxīn; Portuguese: Incineração de Resíduos Sólidos de Macau) is an incinerator in Taipa, Macau, China.
Incineration is a waste treatment process that involves the combustion of substances contained in waste materials. [1] Industrial plants for waste incineration are commonly referred to as waste-to-energy facilities. Incineration and other high-temperature waste treatment systems are described as "thermal treatment".
FoE has published more than ten articles and campaign against incinerators in response to the government’s policy about the implementation of incinerators, and they address the effects of incineration to show the government that incineration is the least-preferred method they want for solving domestic waste problems.
Large initial investment costs relative to that of alternatives, including landfill [18] and incineration. Operational costs are high relative to that of incineration. Wet feed stock results in less syngas production and higher energy consumption. Little or even negative net energy production when taking into account all energy inputs.
The advantages of the incineration are reduction of volume and mass by burning, reduction to a percentage of sterile ash, source of energy, increase of income by selling bottom ash, and is also environmentally acceptable. The disadvantages of incineration are the following: [1] higher cost and longer payback period due to high capital investment
