Anhui Guzhen Biomass Generation Project (hereafter referred to as the Project) is sited within Guzhen County, Anhui Province, P.R.China. The Project is invested, constructed and operated by the National Guzhen Bio Energy Co., Ltd. The Project installed one 130t/h boiler and one 30MW steam turbine generator. Rice straw, maize straw, peanut straw and wood residues are used as fuel for power generation. The annual electricity supply of the Project is expected to be 186,900 MWh, which is delivered to East China Power Grid. The construction of project was started on March 31st, 2010 and the project  was  put  into operation on January 3rd, 2011. The expected life-time of the project is 20 years. The Project achieves emission reductions via avoiding CO2 emissions from the same amount of electricity generation from East China Power Grid, which is mainly composed of traditional fossil fuel fired power plants. The project activity achieved emission reductions of 242,990 tCO2e during this monito

The Anhui Guzhen Biomass Generation Project (hereafter referred to as the Project) is a renewable energy project located in Guzhen County, Anhui Province, P.R.China. The Project is invested, constructed, and operated by the National Guzhen Bio Energy Co., Ltd. The Project generates electricity using rice straw, maize straw, peanut straw, and wood residues as renewable biomass fuel. 

Key Highlights:
- The Project installed one 130t/h boiler and one 30MW steam turbine generator
- The annual electricity supply of the Project is expected to be 186,900 MWh, which is delivered to East China Power Grid
- The construction of the project began on March 31st, 2010, and it was put into operation on January 3rd, 2011
- The Project achieved emission reductions of 242,990 tCO2e during its monitoring period
- The expected life-time of the project is 20 years

By generating electricity from renewable biomass fuel, the Project reduces the amount of CO2 emissions that would have been produced if the same amount of electricity had been generated from traditional fossil fuel-fired power plants in the East China Power Grid. The Project's contribution to reducing carbon emissions in China is critical for achieving the country's climate goals while also promoting energy security.

Anhui Guzhen Biomass Generation Project

The Anhui Guzhen Biomass Generation Project in China generates electricity using rice straw, maize straw, peanut straw, and wood residues as fuel. With an annual electricity supply of 186,900 MWh, the project reduces emissions by avoiding CO2 emissions from traditional fossil fuel fired power plants. Since its operation in 2011, the project has achieved emission reductions of 242,990 tCO2e.
