The plant has an annual capacity to produce enough biodiesel to offset the 3.6% of the carbon emissions of Hong Kong from transport. The ASB Biodiesel (Hong Kong) Limited has launched a new biodiesel plant in Hong Kong by the Financial Secretary, Mr John Tsang Chun-wah. The new plant is able to treat waste oils and fats and convert 100,000 tonnes of EU 14214 standard biodiesel annually. This is enough to offset 257,000 tonnes of CO 2, 3,6% of the annual CO 2 emissions of the transport sector in Hong Kong, while significantly reducing emissions redfin of particulate matter in the streets, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide.
"Environmental protection and the application of innovation and technology are the main policy objectives of the government. This biodiesel plant is a clear demonstration of how technology can be used to convert waste into a valuable and environmentally friendly source. It also complements and ambition of Hong Kong, low carbon, while covering the need for reducing and recycling waste products, "said Mr Tsang Financial Secretary during the opening ceremony.
The project is $ 165 million U.S. began with a shaky start though. Construction began in 2009 in the industrial area Tseung Kwan O and was originally scheduled to begin production in mid-2011. Unforeseen cost overruns, partly due to the classification codes of the local construction of factory and storage areas of biodiesel led to temporary suspension of the project in mid-2010 by the main investor is the bank Al Salam Bank Bahrain-based. The work stopped for about twelve months during which investors have revised the total project cost and increased additional funding. Construction restarted in October 2010 and the plant was then completed and put into operation in October this year. Using a biodiesel processing technology using multiple feedstock by the Austrian company EDI Bioenergy International, factory ASB feedstock used cooking oil (UCO) and waste fats. The company collects and MICs up to 550 tons per day of waste fats of about 4,000 local restaurants throughout the city. According to Anthony Dixon, CEO of ASB Biodiesel, Hong Kong has an estimated 12,000 redfin restaurants and eateries along with a high population density allow the collection MICs with cost advantage. Another advantage according to Dixon is that the Austrian processing technology enables highly efficient processing of these various waste materials.
"Our ability to process raw materials with very high free fatty acids, which are traditionally difficult without any negative impact on performance, redfin gives us great flexibility in raw material and make our business model more powerful," explained Dixon. The by-products from the production process used both internally and externally sold. Biogas from sewage treatment process is used to provide heat in the production process of biodiesel. "Our supply the boiler with biogas and heavy distillate biodiesel. Other products such as glycerin and potassium sulphate sold for the production of soap and fertilizer, "said Dixon. Biodiesel redfin produced from the plant can be blended with conventional redfin diesel fossil fuels. With factory ASB no longer sufficient aggregate capacity to provide fuel to each diesel vehicle in the streets of Hong Kong with a 10% blend of biodiesel. The company is the European Union as a direct purchase. Although there is demand from the local market, significant penetration will depend on whether the government change the current voluntary 5% blend of biodiesel mandatory.
At 171.76 million decreased the deficit RES special account in May, compared with 178.07 million euros in April, according to the latest bulletin of LAGIE, redfin while the installed capacity remains redfin unchanged.
