On December 19, the major green and low-carbon project for the efficient recycling of 200,000 tons per year of hazardous waste, carried out by Zhejiang Fengdeng Green Energy Environmental Protection Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Conba Group Co., Ltd., as well as the industrial recycling project for the scientific utilization of waste developed by Weifang Fengdeng Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., were inaugurated in the Green Chemical Industry Park of Weifang Binhai Economic and Technological Development Zone. The total investment in the project is nearly 5 billion yuan, and it will be constructed in four phases. One phase of this project requires an investment of 1.04 billion yuan, with a construction period of 2 years; it will be constructed by China Tianchen Engineering Co., Ltd. The first-phase project is capable of processing 200,000 tons of organic waste per year, producing high-value green products such as green methanol and low-carbon hydrogen, with the aim of establishing a regional platform for the disposal of hazardous waste and its resource utilization. According to calculations, through advanced resource recycling methods, the project can save approximately 100,000 tons of coal per year compared to traditional disposal methods, while also reducing carbon emissions by around 400,000 tons per year. “The project has opened up a new pathway for the large-scale production of green methanol using bio-based waste as raw material. ”Zhang Lei, chairman and president of Fengdeng Green Energy Environmental Protection, said that the Weifang Fengdeng recycling project is part of Fengdeng Green Energy Environmental Protection’s \"Fengfei Jiuzhou Project No. 1\". This project creates a closed-loop industrial chain that goes from hazardous waste to low-carbon syngas, to high-value green chemicals, and finally to the recovery of rare resources. The green syngas produced can be transported directly through pipelines to other enterprises within the industrial park, enabling local conversion of resources and providing technical support for the development of zero-carbon industrial parks in the area. The main challenge in the high-value utilization of hazardous waste lies in its complex composition and large amount of harmful substances. Zhang Lei told reporters that Fengdeng Green Energy Environmental Protection has been working on technologies for the recycling of hazardous waste since 2007. Its proprietary \"green and low-carbon process technology for converting hazardous waste into high-value chemicals\" integrates various techniques such as pyrolysis of coal, auxiliary dissolution of waste liquids, emulsification into paste, crushing and grinding, one-click formulation, and carbon capture technologies, all aimed at enabling the recycling of hazardous waste. In more detail, hazardous waste is pre-treated to be converted into safe and stable homogeneous materials; these materials are then mixed with coal in a certain ratio. Under high temperature and pressure conditions, the large-molecule organic hazardous waste is transformed into small-molecule syngas composed mainly of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which can be used as high-quality, low-carbon chemical raw materials for downstream processes. Zhou Xianhui, president of the China Chemical Industry Environmental Protection Association, affirmed the demonstrative significance of this project for the petrochemical industry. She pointed out that this project represents not only a revolutionary innovation in traditional waste disposal methods but also a complement to the circular economy system, setting a new benchmark for the green transformation of the petrochemical industry. According to Fengdeng Green Energy Environmental Protection’s estimates, taking a production capacity of 200,000 tons per year as an example, the implementation of this technology could generate annual revenues of 1 billion yuan, along with profits and taxes amounting to nearly 150 million yuan; it would also result in a reduction of carbon emissions of about 400,000 tons per year. In addition to the Weifang recycling project, Fengdeng Green Energy Environmental Protection has established circular development models with several leading petrochemical companies. In 2024, it started construction of a facility for the green and low-carbon conversion of 200,000 tons per year of chemical organic hazardous waste in the Shangyu Economic and Technological Development Zone along the Hangzhou Bay. It plans to further expand its industrial operations in regions such as Jiangsu, Hubei, and Guangdong.
