On September 28, operations began for Yichang’s kitchen waste utilization project. This project generates biogas through the processing of up to 200 tonnes of kitchen waste daily.



Upon arrival at this facility, kitchen waste is processed and separated it into three parts: grease, organic matter and excess waste.

The grease is transformed into biodiesel, and the organic matter will used to produce biogas. The excess waste will be shipped to daily waste processing factories.

Afterwards, the biogas will be used to generate electricity.



To minimize the impact on the surrounding environment, the project has introduced advanced equipment and processes. The entire process is designed to happen in a sealed system, preventing the release of odors. The buildings are in a negative pressure environment, with air being sucked in from the outside.

Once the project reaches its full capacity, it will have the capacity to process 73,000 tonnes of kitchen waste annually.
