Policy favors waste power generation industry ushering in a period of rapid development

In the context of active national policy support, the core competitiveness of waste treatment companies lies in technology, experience, cross-regional operations, and financial capabilities. Companies that have established a complete industrial chain for waste incineration are well-positioned for both short-term and long-term growth. These firms often adopt business models combining equipment manufacturing, BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer), and financing, such as Shengyun Group and Sander Environment. The garbage generation industry is experiencing rapid development. Since 2012, the approval and implementation of waste-to-energy projects have accelerated. According to incomplete data, nearly 40 projects were signed, with a total investment of around 17 billion yuan. Regionally, third-tier cities have become the main drivers of new project construction. Additionally, several listed environmental companies have expanded into the waste-to-energy sector. For example, Shengyun acquired Zhongke General to establish a full waste incineration supply chain, while Yongqing Environmental signed its first waste incineration power generation project this year. Meanwhile, companies like Z Technology have increased their control over waste power generation through shareholding. These developments indicate that the waste incineration power generation industry is entering a phase of rapid expansion. Internally, the industry is being driven by increasing waste volumes and insufficient existing facilities. Rising land costs and the prioritization of incineration as a treatment method, along with localized equipment manufacturing, have significantly reduced project investment. Rapid economic growth has also accelerated urbanization, leading to higher waste generation. However, China's waste treatment infrastructure lags behind demand, especially in urban areas. In 2010, the country’s waste disposal rate was 63.5%, with urban areas reaching 77.9% but rural regions only at 27.4%. Despite significant improvements in treatment capacity from 21.9 thousand tons per day in 2003 to 480,000 tons per day in 2011, current facilities still fall short of meeting growing needs. Landfills remain the primary disposal method in China, despite their environmental drawbacks. With limited land resources, especially in coastal and developed regions, landfill cannot be a long-term solution. Incineration, on the other hand, offers high processing capacity, volume reduction, and energy recovery, making it a preferred option in many developed countries. The localization of waste incineration equipment has further boosted the industry, reducing capital costs by over 30%. Externally, the industry benefits from clear government policies, profitable business models, and increasing environmental pressure. In 2012, two key policies were introduced: one setting a national benchmark price of 0.65 yuan/kWh for waste-to-energy power, and another outlining targets for harmless waste treatment by 2015. These initiatives signal strong government support for the sector. Globally, waste incineration is widely adopted, particularly in developed nations. Countries like Japan, Switzerland, and Singapore have achieved high incineration rates, with some exceeding 90%. International standards for emissions ensure safety and reduce public concerns, facilitating smoother project implementation. Looking ahead, the 12th Five-Year Plan forecasts significant growth in waste incineration capacity, with an expected annual compound growth rate of 28%. By 2015, China aims to increase daily waste treatment capacity to 817,500 tons, with incineration capacity expanding to 307,200 tons per day. This will require approximately 217 new incineration plants, each with a capacity of 1,000 tons/day. Investment in waste treatment is expected to reach 263.6 billion yuan during the 12th Five-Year Plan, with major provinces like Guangdong, Shandong, and Beijing receiving substantial funding. Revenue from waste-to-energy projects is projected to hit 18.5 billion yuan annually by 2015, driven by subsidies averaging 80 yuan/ton and high utilization rates. Key players in the sector include Shengyun Group and Sander Environment. Shengyun has acquired Zhongke General to build a full waste incineration chain, while Sander has secured multiple large-scale projects, with over 4 billion yuan in contracts. Both companies are well-positioned to benefit from the industry's continued growth.
