Schmidt Hammer Lassen (SHL) and Gottlieb Paludan’s waste-to-energy plant in Shenzhen is scheduled to open next year. When complete, this waste-to-energy plant will be the largest of its kind in the world.Located on the outskirts of city, the plant will incinerate 5,000 tons of waste per day, generating 550 million kWh every year, according to the architects. The city has a population of 20 million, which produces 15,000 tons of waste a day, and the number is increasing approximately 7 percent per year. The waste-to-energy plant will not only use the most advanced technological processes in waste incineration but also educate the residents of the city. The plant will be open to visitors who can come and see the plant machinery from the visitor center. Designed as a circular building, the Shenzhen waste-to-energy plant breaks away from the traditional rectangular layout of industrial facilities. The 66,000-square-meter roof is designed to be covered by up to 44,000 square meters of photovoltaic panels providing an opportunity for the plant to not only provide a cleaner way to deal with the city’s waste but also contribute to the renewable energy provision for the city, according to the architects.“From the outset, the goal was to design a waste-to-energy plant that is simple, clean, iconic and a deserved indicator of the forward thinking developments that are being made within the waste-to-energy sector in China, and how this can be portrayed not only to the surrounding residents of Shenzhen but to the world. By proposing a clean circular form, the footprint of the plant is controlled and reduces the amount of excavation required to build on the site,” states Schmidt Hammer Lassen.The plant is scheduled to go live in 2020. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
