1 Introduction

On the basis of detailed analysis on current environmental situation and quality of the

project area, detailed explanation and specific arrangements has been made in this

plan regarding to such issues as staffing of the environment management institutions

of the project, environmental protection measures to be taken, efficiency monitoring

of the ecological environment to be carried out, procedure and record of the voluntary

participation of general public, necessary training of relevant personnel on

environmental management knowledge and technology and budget for expenses of

the environmental management activities in order to guide the environmental

management work of the project.

1.1 Purpose of EIA/EMP

The purpose of establishing ELA/EMP is to formulate a set of technically feasible,

financially sustainable and operable environmental solutions targeting on the

unavoidable environmental impact in the project. These solutions will be applied

during the construction and implementation of the project, so as to maximally reduce

the project’s negative impact on society and environment, and to solve the remaining

environmental problems through these solutions.

The function of ELA/EMP is to list the environmental solutions, monitoring and

institutional measures that will be adopted during the construction and operation of

the project and put forward specific approaches to implement these measures, so as to

avoid or control the negative impact of the project on the environment. EMP will be

an important link between the environmental solutions and measures defined in the

environmental impact and environmental assessment, so that the purpose of

environmental solutions will be achieved through the approaches of EMP.

1.2 Background

Fossil energy is a type of limited and unrenewable resource, which has serious impact

on the environment, e.g. excessive emission of greenhouse gases, global warming,

serious deterioration of regional climate and ecological environment, and poses great

threat on the mankind in the future. Therefore, sustainability of energy is one of the

primarily concerned issues by the world leaders in modern times.

The sharp conflicts between supply and demand of energy in China will not be

addressed at least until 2050, when China becomes a moderately developed country.

However, carbon-free and low-carbon energy system is required to be urgently

established in the current sustainable development situation of energy. Therefore, all

kinds of renewable energy shall be developed in a planned way according to the local

conditions based on different stages of technological development. The combination

Page 6: China Concentrated Solar Power Project EIA/EMP First Draft · 2016-07-11 · EMP for demonstrative franchise project of Inner Mongolia’s 50MW trough solar thermal power generation

EMP for demonstrative franchise project of Inner Mongolia’s 50MW trough solar thermal power generation

4

of solar energy and a variety of fossil fuels shall be considered so as to achieve the

complementation of renewable energy and fossil energy. The study on solar energy

and thermochemistry shall be attached importance, and new cycling technology of

solar thermal power generation shall be adopted to enhance the efficiency of power

generation. By establishing complete carbon-free, low-carbon energy and economic

system, we shall solve the energy and environmental problems that contain China’s

economic and social development so as to enable China to lead the world in the

energy science and technology.

When used in combination with the energy storage devices, solar thermal power

generation has already become an important way of uninterrupted power supply

through renewable energy. With the technological progress and large-scaled

production of components, solar thermal power generation has the potential to

challenge with thermal power generation in cost. It is the only ideally alternative way

for us to turn the challenge into opportunity and actively develop the renewable solar

energy generation, so as to achieve a diversified pattern of energy supply in China.

Solar thermal power generation is economically efficient, develops rapidly worldwide

and enjoys a promising prospect of large-scaled application and important strategic

position. With regard to its strategic height and prospective of sustainable

development, it is a wise decision and inevitable option for China to develop solar

thermal power generation. Speeding up the development of solar power generation

involves such important issues as the future’s energy security of China and the world,

harmonious and coordinative development of energy and environment and the

sustainable development of energy. It will contribute to relieving the pressure of

energy and environment that China faces in the world and enhancing the international

status and impact of our country in the world. Therefore, massively developing the

solar power market and expanding the scope of application will be conducive to

lowering the cost of power generation and improving the power generation structure,

in which coal power is the main power

China’s “Development Planning for the ‘11th

Five-year-plan’ on Renewable Energy”

clearly states:

“We shall select the appropriate areas in the flat deserts of the Ordos highland of

Inner Mongolia along the Yellow River, flat deserts of the Hexi Corridor of Gansu

province, Hami Prefecture of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Lhasa of Tibet or

surrounding areas of Beijing, carry out pilot test of solar thermal power generation,

which has a total installed capacity of about 50,000 kilowatt.”“Key field and area of

solar thermal power generation: setting up 50,000 kilowatt (the planned target) of

solar thermal power generation in Inner Mongolia.”

In order to fully utilize the rich solar power resources of Inner Mongolia, promote the

technological progress of solar thermal power generation and enhance its economic

benefit and industrial development, in January 2007, National Development and

Reform Commission issued the energy document No.[2007]164“Reply letter on

approval of the General Office of National Development and Reform Commission in

carrying out the preliminary work of the demonstrative project of solar thermal power

generation by Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region”(Attachment 1)

The May 2007 NFG energy document No. [2007]124“Reply letter on relevant matters

of carrying out preliminary work of the project of 50,000 kilowatt Trough solar

thermal power generation by Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region”(Attachment 2)

was issued by the Development and Reform Commission of the Inner Mongolia

Autonomous Region.

In March 2010, under the approval of the National Energy Bureau, demonstrative

trough solar thermal power generation plant with an installed capacity of 50MW was

set up in Balagong town of Hangjin banner of Ordos city of Inner Mongolia

autonomous region. Franchise bidding was adopted in selecting qualified investors

from home and abroad.

China Datang Corporation Renewable Power Co., Limited won the bid in the

international open bidding of the project in January 2011 and acquired the authority of

investment and management of China’s first 50MW trough solar thermal power

generation plant. It takes the responsibility of establishing the project company, which

will be in charge of the designing, investing, constructing, operating and maintaining

of the project, dismantling the production facilities of the power plant and resuming

the pre-construction status upon expiration of the franchise management.

The proposed construction scale of the demonstrative project of 50MW trough solar

thermal power generation of Inner Mongolia is 50MW with the installation of turbine

generator set of 1×50MW and the construction of one booster station of 110kV in the

power plant.

(2) Wild animals bear the instinct to

protect themselves from danger and so

they would temporarily migrate to other

area with the same living environment as

the construction area, a relatively smaller

place in the whole region, which will see

a short-term construction. Many of such

animals will come back one after another

to their habitats as ecological

environment gets better with the

gradually restoring vegetation coverage

and human interference become less after

construction completion.

(3) Enhance awareness on protection of

and prohibition to hunt wild animals,

construction workers are forbidden to

hunt wild animals in the construction and

surrounding areas, in accordance with

Law of the People’s Republic of China on

4.2.3 Risk-prevention measures

(1) The general arrangement is designed in strict compliance with relevant

standards, featuring fire compartments based seriously on types and fire-resisting

levels of process units and buildings to satisfy requirement on fire-prevention space

and safe evacuation. Store tank area is surrounded by ring-shaped fire passages for

fire-fighting vehicles. Fire compartments are set up based on the fire risk and

fire-resisting level of all buildings (structures) in the area, with all necessary facilities

such as fire-proof doors and windows and explosion-proof wall.A set of fire-alarm

system is designed, which include a fire-alarm panel board in the control room, a

fire-alarm repeater plate in the fire station, an explosion-proof type manual alarm

button or commonly-seen alarm button in processing units area, temperature-sensing

cables in large oil can area, and a temperature-sensing/smoke-sensing detector in the

control room, switchboard room, warehouse and other places.

(2)Using techniques to design precautionary measures for safety assurance: the

conduction oil system is an enclosed kind which will store inflammable & explosive

and combustible materials in closed equipment and pipes when they are under

reaction, with all joints being reliably air proof. The process control system contains

an out-of-limit alarm to ensure all hazardous materials all alone under safety control

Page 41: China Concentrated Solar Power Project EIA/EMP First Draft · 2016-07-11 · EMP for demonstrative franchise project of Inner Mongolia’s 50MW trough solar thermal power generation

EMP for demonstrative franchise project of Inner Mongolia’s 50MW trough solar thermal power generation

in case of incorrect manipulation or under abnormal conditions. Naked fire, hot

surface, electric sparks, electrostatic spark and ignition sources like impulsive force

and friction shall come under good control in the course of design and production; and

control measures shall also be strictly taken to ensure the discharge, exhaust and

safety relief of flammable fuels in an enclosed system. The safety interlock and

fire&air monitoring system is designed to ensure safety in production, long-term

operation of process units in order and without accidents, and the safety of processing

units and operators under regular production and even when accidents happen. As per

relevant standards, Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)is to be installed for interlock

protection of equipment and units. Fire & air monitoring system are used to monitor

the on-site combustible gas, poisonous gas and fire-alarm signal.

(3)Important monitoring areas must have a combustible gastest detector of

catalytic combustion kind which are better able to make an acousto-optic alarm on the

site, and a poisonous gastest detector of electrochemistry kind capable of making an

acousto-optic alarm on the site. Combustible gas and poisonous gas detecting

instruments and the fire-alarm detecting instrument shall be designed with an

5 Environmental Benefits Analysis

5.1 Energy-saving and Electricity-incrmitigationMitigation Benefits

The installed gross capacity of this project is 50MW. Upon the completion of

this project, the annual on-grid electricity will be 122,630,000kW·h. According to

the statistics at the end of 2010, the standard coal consumption for Power Supply in

the coal-fired power plants across China was 333g/kWh on average. Based on this

Table, approx. 49,542t of standard coal will be saved each year after this project is

put into use. Therefore, this project plays a good energy-saving and

electricity-incrmitigationMitigation role.

5.2 Emission-reduction Benefits

According to the content of the local coals: Sar:0.81%;Car:43.21%;

Aar:31.70% (regardless of power plant desulphurization and dedusting efficiency,

99.3%), the emission-reducing amount will be approximately 864t/a of SO2,

133t/a of smoke, 10.5×104t/a of CO2 and 203t/a of NOx, which brings remarkable

benefits to the environment.

The construction of power plant rather than coal-fired power plant will

substantially reduce the pollution to the environment and will play a role of utilizing

renewable natural resources, saving non-renewable fossil energy, reducing pollution

and protecting the ecological environment.

It is clear that the development of solar resources and solar power will not only

save the precious non-renewable resources, but also bring good benefits to the

environment, thus it serves as an important means for realizing the sustainable

development of energy, economy and society.
