1 Introduction
On the basis of detailed analysis on current environmental situation and quality of the
project area, detailed explanation and specific arrangements has been made in this
plan regarding to such issues as staffing of the environment management institutions
of the project, environmental protection measures to be taken, efficiency monitoring
of the ecological environment to be carried out, procedure and record of the voluntary
participation of general public, necessary training of relevant personnel on
environmental management knowledge and technology and budget for expenses of
the environmental management activities in order to guide the environmental
management work of the project.
1.1 Purpose of EIA/EMP
The purpose of establishing ELA/EMP is to formulate a set of technically feasible,
financially sustainable and operable environmental solutions targeting on the
unavoidable environmental impact in the project. These solutions will be applied
during the construction and implementation of the project, so as to maximally reduce
the project’s negative impact on society and environment, and to solve the remaining
environmental problems through these solutions.
The function of ELA/EMP is to list the environmental solutions, monitoring and
institutional measures that will be adopted during the construction and operation of
the project and put forward specific approaches to implement these measures, so as to
avoid or control the negative impact of the project on the environment. EMP will be
an important link between the environmental solutions and measures defined in the
environmental impact and environmental assessment, so that the purpose of
environmental solutions will be achieved through the approaches of EMP.
1.2 Background
Fossil energy is a type of limited and unrenewable resource, which has serious impact
on the environment, e.g. excessive emission of greenhouse gases, global warming,
serious deterioration of regional climate and ecological environment, and poses great
threat on the mankind in the future. Therefore, sustainability of energy is one of the
primarily concerned issues by the world leaders in modern times.
The sharp conflicts between supply and demand of energy in China will not be
addressed at least until 2050, when China becomes a moderately developed country.
However, carbon-free and low-carbon energy system is required to be urgently
established in the current sustainable development situation of energy. Therefore, all
kinds of renewable energy shall be developed in a planned way according to the local
conditions based on different stages of technological development. The combination
EMP for demonstrative franchise project of Inner Mongolia’s 50MW trough solar thermal power generation
4
of solar energy and a variety of fossil fuels shall be considered so as to achieve the
complementation of renewable energy and fossil energy. The study on solar energy
and thermochemistry shall be attached importance, and new cycling technology of
solar thermal power generation shall be adopted to enhance the efficiency of power
generation. By establishing complete carbon-free, low-carbon energy and economic
system, we shall solve the energy and environmental problems that contain China’s
economic and social development so as to enable China to lead the world in the
energy science and technology.
When used in combination with the energy storage devices, solar thermal power
generation has already become an important way of uninterrupted power supply
through renewable energy. With the technological progress and large-scaled
production of components, solar thermal power generation has the potential to
challenge with thermal power generation in cost. It is the only ideally alternative way
for us to turn the challenge into opportunity and actively develop the renewable solar
energy generation, so as to achieve a diversified pattern of energy supply in China.
Solar thermal power generation is economically efficient, develops rapidly worldwide
and enjoys a promising prospect of large-scaled application and important strategic
position. With regard to its strategic height and prospective of sustainable
development, it is a wise decision and inevitable option for China to develop solar
thermal power generation. Speeding up the development of solar power generation
involves such important issues as the future’s energy security of China and the world,
harmonious and coordinative development of energy and environment and the
sustainable development of energy. It will contribute to relieving the pressure of
energy and environment that China faces in the world and enhancing the international
status and impact of our country in the world. Therefore, massively developing the
solar power market and expanding the scope of application will be conducive to
lowering the cost of power generation and improving the power generation structure,
in which coal power is the main power
China’s “Development Planning for the ‘11th
Five-year-plan’ on Renewable Energy”
clearly states:
“We shall select the appropriate areas in the flat deserts of the Ordos highland of
Inner Mongolia along the Yellow River, flat deserts of the Hexi Corridor of Gansu
province, Hami Prefecture of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Lhasa of Tibet or
surrounding areas of Beijing, carry out pilot test of solar thermal power generation,
which has a total installed capacity of about 50,000 kilowatt.”“Key field and area of
solar thermal power generation: setting up 50,000 kilowatt (the planned target) of
solar thermal power generation in Inner Mongolia.”
In order to fully utilize the rich solar power resources of Inner Mongolia, promote the
technological progress of solar thermal power generation and enhance its economic
benefit and industrial development, in January 2007, National Development and
Reform Commission issued the energy document No.[2007]164“Reply letter on
approval of the General Office of National Development and Reform Commission in
carrying out the preliminary work of the demonstrative project of solar thermal power
generation by Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region”(Attachment 1)

The May 2007 NFG energy document No. [2007]124“Reply letter on relevant matters
of carrying out preliminary work of the project of 50,000 kilowatt Trough solar
thermal power generation by Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region”(Attachment 2)
was issued by the Development and Reform Commission of the Inner Mongolia
Autonomous Region.
In March 2010, under the approval of the National Energy Bureau, demonstrative
trough solar thermal power generation plant with an installed capacity of 50MW was
set up in Balagong town of Hangjin banner of Ordos city of Inner Mongolia
autonomous region. Franchise bidding was adopted in selecting qualified investors
from home and abroad.
China Datang Corporation Renewable Power Co., Limited won the bid in the
international open bidding of the project in January 2011 and acquired the authority of
investment and management of China’s first 50MW trough solar thermal power
generation plant. It takes the responsibility of establishing the project company, which
will be in charge of the designing, investing, constructing, operating and maintaining
of the project, dismantling the production facilities of the power plant and resuming
the pre-construction status upon expiration of the franchise management.
The proposed construction scale of the demonstrative project of 50MW trough solar
thermal power generation of Inner Mongolia is 50MW with the installation of turbine
generator set of 1×50MW and the construction of one booster station of 110kV in the
power plant.

4.2.3 Risk-prevention measures
(1) The general arrangement is designed in strict compliance with relevant
standards, featuring fire compartments based seriously on types and fire-resisting
levels of process units and buildings to satisfy requirement on fire-prevention space
and safe evacuation. Store tank area is surrounded by ring-shaped fire passages for
fire-fighting vehicles. Fire compartments are set up based on the fire risk and
fire-resisting level of all buildings (structures) in the area, with all necessary facilities
such as fire-proof doors and windows and explosion-proof wall.A set of fire-alarm
system is designed, which include a fire-alarm panel board in the control room, a
fire-alarm repeater plate in the fire station, an explosion-proof type manual alarm
button or commonly-seen alarm button in processing units area, temperature-sensing
cables in large oil can area, and a temperature-sensing/smoke-sensing detector in the
control room, switchboard room, warehouse and other places.
(2)Using techniques to design precautionary measures for safety assurance: the
conduction oil system is an enclosed kind which will store inflammable & explosive
and combustible materials in closed equipment and pipes when they are under
reaction, with all joints being reliably air proof. The process control system contains
an out-of-limit alarm to ensure all hazardous materials all alone under safety control
EMP for demonstrative franchise project of Inner Mongolia’s 50MW trough solar thermal power generation
39
in case of incorrect manipulation or under abnormal conditions. Naked fire, hot
surface, electric sparks, electrostatic spark and ignition sources like impulsive force
and friction shall come under good control in the course of design and production; and
control measures shall also be strictly taken to ensure the discharge, exhaust and
safety relief of flammable fuels in an enclosed system. The safety interlock and
fire&air monitoring system is designed to ensure safety in production, long-term
operation of process units in order and without accidents, and the safety of processing
units and operators under regular production and even when accidents happen. As per
relevant standards, Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)is to be installed for interlock
protection of equipment and units. Fire & air monitoring system are used to monitor
the on-site combustible gas, poisonous gas and fire-alarm signal.
(3)Important monitoring areas must have a combustible gastest detector of
catalytic combustion kind which are better able to make an acousto-optic alarm on the
site, and a poisonous gastest detector of electrochemistry kind capable of making an
acousto-optic alarm on the site. Combustible gas and poisonous gas detecting
instruments and the fire-alarm detecting instrument shall be designed with an
independent F&GS system which contains trouble-removal plans concerning fire,
explosion and poisoning, as well as a trouble-removal system.
In addition to the rescue routeways in the storage, loading, unloading and office
areas, there are also rescue facilities, exit passageways and refuges.
4.2.4 Emergency plans
In accordance with National Environmental Emergency Plan (Jan. 24, 2006) and
relevant laws, rules ®ulations and standards, formulation and management of
emergency plans are required and such requirement shall be followed by project

5 Environmental Benefits Analysis
5.1 Energy-saving and Electricity-incrmitigationMitigation Benefits
The installed gross capacity of this project is 50MW. Upon the completion of
this project, the annual on-grid electricity will be 122,630,000kW·h. According to
the statistics at the end of 2010, the standard coal consumption for Power Supply in
the coal-fired power plants across China was 333g/kWh on average. Based on this
Table, approx. 49,542t of standard coal will be saved each year after this project is
put into use. Therefore, this project plays a good energy-saving and
electricity-incrmitigationMitigation role.
5.2 Emission-reduction Benefits
According to the content of the local coals: Sar:0.81%;Car:43.21%;
Aar:31.70% (regardless of power plant desulphurization and dedusting efficiency,
99.3%), the emission-reducing amount will be approximately 864t/a of SO2,
133t/a of smoke, 10.5×104t/a of CO2 and 203t/a of NOx, which brings remarkable
benefits to the environment.
The construction of power plant rather than coal-fired power plant will
substantially reduce the pollution to the environment and will play a role of utilizing
renewable natural resources, saving non-renewable fossil energy, reducing pollution
and protecting the ecological environment.
It is clear that the development of solar resources and solar power will not only
save the precious non-renewable resources, but also bring good benefits to the
environment, thus it serves as an important means for realizing the sustainable
development of energy, economy and society.
