Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy The 11th Five-Year Plan (FYP) for Energy Development in the People's Republic of China (PRC) confirms the utilization of waste coal to be scaled up from 150 million tons (t) in 2005 to 390 million t in 2010. Both the 11th FYP for Economic and Social Development (National Development and Reform Commission [NDRC]) and the 11th FYP for Energy Development (NDRC) emphasize the building of large scale circulating fluidized-bed combustion (CFBC) as major means for pollution control. The 11th FYP for Scientific and Technological Development (Ministry of Science and Technology) accords priority on developing 600 megawatt (MW) CFBC. According to the State Council's Opinion on Accelerating Development of Recycle Economy and Shanxi Recycle Economy Development Plan under the 11th FYP, there is an urgent demand for developing integrated utilization of waste coal on the part of coal production and thermal power generation enterprises.

Recognizing the major environmental hazards due to waste coal pile ups in the province, the Shanxi provincial government sought Asian Development Bank (ADB) assistance. The policy and advisory technical assistance (TA) is included in the Country Partnership Strategy (2008¿2010) for the People's Republic of China as a firm 2009 TA and a concept paper was submitted to the Ministry of Finance.
Impact Reduced negative environmental impacts from waste coal heaps in Shanxi province.
Outcome Progress Toward Outcome
A set of recommended policy measures to increase waste coal use in Shanxi Province.
Outputs and Timeframe Status of Implementation Progress (Outputs, Activities and Issues)
(i) Provide a comprehensive utilization plan and policy recommendations for waste coal
(ii) introduce advanced energy-efficient technologies for waste coal power generation and technical due diligence report for a 600-MW waste coal power plant utilizing CFBC technology with supercritical steam parameters
(iii) disseminate knowledge on advanced energy-efficient technology for waste coal power generation
Geographical Location Shanxi, People's Republic of China
Summary of Environmental and Social Issues No environmental and social issues and risks associated with the proposed TA.
Stakeholder Participation and Consultation Officials from the Ministry of Finance, National Energy Administration, Shanxi Provincial Finance Bureau, Shanxi Development and Reform Commission, and private sectors (Pingshou Waste Coal Power Generation Co. Ltd. and Gemeng International Energy Co. Ltd.) were consulted for the concept paper preparation.
Procurement
  Consulting Services The TA will require 48 person-months of national consulting services. Required experts include a (i) coal engineer, (ii) economist, (iii) environment specialist, (iv) boiler design specialist, (v) thermodynamics specialist, (vi) dynamics specialist, (vii) clean combustion specialist, (viii) material specialist, (ix) CFBC boiler debugging specialist, and (x) CFBC boiler operation specialist. Because using waste coal for large-scale power generation is unique to PRCespecially Shanxi Provincemobilizing local knowledge and experts is abundant and practical.

The TA is intended to be delegated to the EA and IA. The consulting firm will be recruited by the IA under the guidance of the EA in accordance with ADB's Guidelines on the Use of Consultants (2007, as amended from time to time) following quality- and cost-based selection in a qualitycost ratio of 80:20 for component A. A capacity assessment report was prepared for TA delegation and it concluded that the IA has capable of directly (i) managing the recruitment of consulting services, (ii) supervising the consultants, and (iii) administering the consulting services contract in accordance with ADBs policies, guidelines, and procedures. The capacity assessment report is in a supplementary appendix. Equipment will be procured in accordance with ADB's Procurement Guidelines (2007, as amended from time to time).
