C&G Environmental Protection Holdings, the emerging player in China’s renewable waste-to-energy sector, says it has recently started construction of a new WTE plant located in Xiaogan City, Hubei Province.

The Xiaogan plant will be completed in two phases, with Phase 1 to start operations in the first half of 2012, and Phase 2 to start one to two years after Phase 1 starts. The designed waste treatment capacities for Phase 1 and Phase 2 are 700 tons per day and 350 tons per day respectively.

C&G secured the build, operate and transfer (BOT) project for the WTE plant in Xiaogan City in May, making it the 10th BOT project the group has secured over the last few years. The Xiaogan plant is the fourth plant that C&G has started construction this year; others include the WTE plants located in Yingkou, Langfang, and Jiangyan.
