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 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.

Hangjin Banner is dry and short of rain, and rainfall amount of the whole area descents from east to west with the rainfall amount of 245mm on average for years. 60% of the rainfall is often happened in July to September in Summer with an average evaporation of 2,720mm for many years, a relative humidity of 49% and a dryness of 1.98. The wind speed is generally high with an annual average speed of 3.0m/s. In spring we often see such wind speed as high as 28.7m/s, which is accompanied by sandstorm weather. The average frost-free period is 155 days and depth of soil freezing for many years is 1.5m.

The solar thermal power plant is located in the southwest of Hangjin Banner of Ordos city, which enjoys similar climate with Dengkou County’s Weather Station, which is about 8 km northwest of the plant and classified into the same climate region with the former. See Table 3.1-1 and breeze rose diagram 3.1-1according to the weather data statistics of Dengkou County’s Weather Station from 1992 to 2001.
