Overview

This project supported the implementation of new technology of coke dry quenching (CDQ) and coke wet quenching process (CWQ) at Baotou Iron & Steel Group Co., Ltd. (BISCO). The project was expected to generate a net supply of 166.7 GWh annually, which should replace the equivalent amount of electricity from the North China Power Grid, and reduce the GHG emissions from the coal-dominated North China Power Grid. The expected emission reductions from this project are estimated at 130,315 tCO2e per year for ten year.

Benefits

The project, which recovered waste heat from red-hot coke and then used the heat for electricity generation, had significant environmental and social benefits. It contributed to sustainable development as follows:

  • The project reduced the waste of energy resources and promotes energy conservation;
  • Electricity generated by this project displaced coal-fired power generation in the North China Power Grid, reducing the environmental pollution generated from burning coal;
  • The project significantly reduced dust from the existing CWQ facility;
  • The project created employment opportunities for the local community during the construction and operation of the project.
