耗资7.3亿美元的凯帕拉废物转化为奥克兰垃圾的能源厂越来越近了

Share:

新西兰凯帕拉拟建的耗资7.3亿美元的废物转化能源焚化炉已接近实现。该发电厂将燃烧来自奥克兰和北国的垃圾发电,可能是该国最大的工厂。凯帕拉市长克雷格·杰普森表示,施工可能在两年内开始。

杰普森敦促政府加快该工厂的批准程序。凯帕拉区议会正在与海外控股公司南岛资源回收有限公司(SIRRL)合作建造该工厂。该设施可能在2028年之前投入运营。

SIRRL董事会董事保罗·泰勒说,奥克兰和北岛的市长已要求该公司为北岛潜在的废物转化发电厂的可行性研究提供数据。接下来的步骤将由市长与其议会和社区协商后决定。

拟议的凯帕拉设施每年将处理来自奥克兰和北国的约73万吨垃圾。这是南坎特伯雷怀马特附近拟建的耗资3.5亿美元的垃圾发电焚化炉处理量的两倍。怀马特焚化炉是否继续运转的决定目前由政府决定。

零废物倡导者苏·库茨对垃圾发电焚化炉对环境和健康的影响表示担忧。她还对缺乏有关政府对重大基础设施项目采取的快速方针的细节表示担忧。

但是,杰普森市长表示,废物转化能源技术在过去30年中一直在发展,先前对危险污染物的担忧已不再重要。他补充说,凯帕拉发电厂将带来显著的好处,包括每年为16.5万户家庭生产72兆瓦的电力,以及210吨建筑骨料,例如碎石。

尽管有这些好处,但库茨警告说,由于欧洲需求的减少,国际废物转化能源公司的目标是监管薄弱的国家。她还说,拟议的设施与北国推动可再生能源的举措相矛盾,因为大量的化石燃料被用来燃烧垃圾。

作为回应,杰普森说,将使用清洁燃烧的气体启动凯帕拉焚烧,然后将由垃圾本身产生的能量来维持焚烧。
