The newly constructed waste-to-energy plant in Shenzhen East, which is situated on the mountainous outskirts of the city, will be capable of incinerating 5,000 tons of waste every single day. This amount is equivalent to one third of the waste that is produced by Shenzhen’s 20 million residents on an annual basis. At the same time as it will serve as a source of education for the people of Shenzhen, the plant will make use of the most cutting-edge technologies in the fields of garbage incineration and electricity production. The winning design incorporates all of the plant’s structures, including the ancillary buildings, into a single circular structure, which is a departure from the conventional rectangular arrangement of industrial facilities. Because of the distinct circular design that has been proposed, the footprint of the plant has been reduced, and the amount of excavation that is necessary to construct on the site has been reduced as well. A manicured park serves as the entry to the plant, and an entrance bridge that rises between the stacks leads to an entrance lobby and visitor center that overlooks the plant equipment. Visitors from the general public are welcome to enter the facility. A public promenade that is 1.5 kilometers long and offers a panoramic view of the surrounding environment and the city of Shenzhen is located on the top of the plant via an internal circular route and walkway that circles the facility and provides an explanation of each process. It is planned that the roof of the plant, which is 66,000 square meters in size, will be covered by up to 44,000 square meters of photovoltaic panels. This will allow the plant to not only offer a more environmentally friendly method of dealing with the waste of the city, but also to contribute to the provision of renewable energy for the city. This plant is designed to demonstrate the importance of waste-to-energy production as a technical process that is geared toward addressing the issues of growing waste as well as the issue of finding more environmentally friendly ways of generating electricity. The plant is intended to showcase the waste-to-energy production process. During the same time period, visitors are educated on the problem of the ever-increasing quantities of garbage that we generate on a daily basis, and they are also given information on projects that may help them minimize the amount of waste that they make on a daily basis. The thorough design work that will be done by the two seasoned businesses that have won awards is slated to commence in the beginning of 2016, and the facility is expected to begin functioning in the year 2020.
