Issues and Countermeasure of Waste Management
Kureha Ecology Management Co.,Ltd.
in Penang State■ Issues Increasing total amount of waste generation
 Increasing waste management cost forcollection/transfer/treatment (landfill)（occupies ~40% of state budget）
 No comprehensive facilities of wastetreatment■ Countermeasure⇒ Separation and volume reduction of waste
and improvement of waste treatment⇒ Efficient use of woody biomass waste andreduction of GHGs

FS Result – Concept of Biomass Power Generation
Kureha Ecology Management Co.,Ltd.

Basic plan of Biomass Power Plant
Capacity: 5.7 MW (1 unit)
2nd unit (extra 5.7 MW) is under consideration depends on theavailability of Woody Waste

Boiler Type: CFB ( Circulation Fluidized Bed ) boiler or Stoker boiler
The boiler type will be determined based on the condition ofbiomass source characteristics and needs from local

Plant area: ~ 34,000 m2 ( 8.5 acre )Securing enough space of drying Green (Garden) waste formoisture control incl. seasonal fluctuation of total amount ofbiomass waste available.

Option:Methane fermentation can be combined for improving
the efficiency of the biomass power plant.

FS Result – Achievement and Issues

Kureha Ecology Management Co.,Ltd.

Achieved Overall study of construction of biomass power generation plant in Penangincl. economical analysis
 Explanation of concept and plan of the package-style biomass power plant
to City Council of Penang Island (MBPP), Municipal Council of Seberang Perai(MPSP) and Penang state  obtained basic understanding Local partner company  secured with secrecy agreement
 Construction cost of grid connection  solved(will get support from a construction project of industrial
park surrounding the power plant candidate site)

To be solved

Subsidy from Japan Gov. for non-JCM country
Securing 16 years stable woody biomass supply incl. backup plan withalternative biomass fuel (PKS, agricultural waste and other woody waste)
