The Jidong Cement Jilin Co., Ltd 6 MW Cement Waste Heat Recovery Project (hereafter referred to as “the project” or “the proposed project activity”) involves the capture and utilization of waste heat from one cement line and the utilization of this waste heat for the purpose of power generation. The project will be implemented at the clinker production line at the Cement Production Facility of Jidong Cement Jilin Co., Ltd. (hereafter referred to as the cement production facility) in Jilin City of Jilin Province, China.

The main objective of the project is to utilize waste heat from the cement production line for generating electric power which will be utilized on-site. The power produced by the project will displace power which would be supplied by the North East China Grid in the absence of the project activity. The project will contribute to the more efficient use of energy at the cement production facility and reduce reliance on exhaustible fossil fuel.

The project will consist of the installation of 2 waste heat recovery (WHR) boilers, one at the pre-heater stage and the other at the clinker cooler stage. The steam produced by the boilers will be used to power a steam turbine with a capacity of 6,000 kW. Annual power generation amounts to 36,940 MWh. After deduction of auxiliary power consumption, the expected net annual supply to cement production facility is 33,980 MWh.

The project will displace an equivalent amount of power which would be supplied by the public grid in the absence of the proposed CDM project activity. The internal grid of the cement production facility is connected via the “Hada 1st Transformer Station” to the regional grid (i.e. the North East China Power Grid).

Contribution to sustainable development

The generated power utilizes waste heat and will therefore not produce additional Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, and will contribute to the sustainability of the cement sector in the Jilin Province, specifically through:

• Improving energy efficiency of the cement industry in Jilin Province in general through demonstrating efficient technology, and in particular improving energy efficiency at the Cement production facility.;

• Increasing the diversity of power supply and reducing reliance on exhaustible fossil fuel based power sources;

• Reducing global emissions of greenhouse gases, to combat global climate change; • Creating employment opportunities for local residents.

This project fits with the Chinese government objective to improve energy efficiency in industry and the cement industry in particular.
