China's first biomass furnace VER voluntary emission reduction project started in Hebei

The global climate conference in Cancún, which attracted worldwide attention, came to an end. Domestic private enterprises actively responded to the spirit of the conference and took the lead in launching voluntary emission reduction projects in China. Recently, the “300,000 vol VER voluntary emission reduction project for biomass stoves” implemented by Hebei Guanglei Furnace Co., Ltd. was launched in Gucheng County, Hebei Province.

This is the first domestic VER voluntary emission reduction project implemented in the biomass stove industry. The first phase of the project will be to promote 5000 biomass stoves in Gucheng County by the end of 2011, and to build 30 straw-formed fuel plants. The annual output of straw molded fuel will be 15,000 tons, which will replace 7500 tons of standard coal and reduce annual CO2 emissions. 20,000 tons. The project plans to promote 300,000 biomass stoves throughout the country within three years, build 2,000 biomass-cured molding fuel processing stations, and produce 1 million tons of biomass-based molded fuel annually, achieving the goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 1.2 million tons annually.

The project is funded by Hebei Guanglei Furnace Co., Ltd. to fund 70% of the farmers' purchase of biomass stoves, and the construction of a straw-shaped fuel plant, supporting the use of straw-shaped fuel for coal replacement and carbon dioxide emission reduction. Farmers voluntarily transfer their own carbon dioxide emission reduction rights to the company, and the company obtained proceeds through the development of VER voluntary emission reduction projects, offsetting the cost of funding for stoves.

According to experts from the China Rural Energy Industry Association's Energy Saving Stoves Professional Committee, the biomass stove is a new type of high-efficiency low-emission stove. The fuel is mainly biomass, and the fuel is semi-vaporized. The energy saving and emission reduction effect is obvious, but At present, the development of the biomass fuel market lags behind, and the industrial chain is not perfect, which restricts the promotion of biomass stoves. The promotion of biomass stoves and shaped fuels will accelerate the development of the industrialization of biomass stoves in China. Since the beginning of this winter, nearly 1,000 families of farmer households in Gucheng County have used biomass stoves and burned straw-shaped fuel. They have fulfilled their energy saving and emission reduction obligations through practical actions.

VER voluntary emission reduction is a voluntary, charitable, certified emission reduction credit line. The voluntary emission reduction market refers to a carbon emissions trading market. The implementation of the VER voluntary emission reduction project for biomass stoves enabled rural straw resources and energy utilization, eliminated open burning of straw, replaced coal burning, saved energy, reduced greenhouse gas emissions such as atmospheric pollution and carbon dioxide, and improved the quality of life of farmers. Promoting farmers to increase income and reduce expenditure has a positive role in promoting.
