Recycling and Reuse of Resources in Taichung Waipu Green Energy Ecological Park
"Waipu Green Energy Ecological Park, Taichung City" is the first bioenergy plant in Taiwan to carry out anaerobic fermentation of raw food waste from vegetables (Leave sorts), fruits, , which collects and processes about 110 metric tons of raw food waste per day in Taichung City, and produces biogas to generate green electricity after fermentation and decomposition through the park's anaerobic digestion system. It reduces the treatment load of the incineration plant and maintaining the city's air quality. After anaerobic fermentation and reuse, raw food waste can produce 4,300~4,700 cubic meters of biogas per day, generate 8,500~10,000 kWh of green electricity per day, and earn NTD$4,500~50,000 per day from wholesale sales of Taipower(Taiwan Power Company). The raw food waste that was originally mixed in the garbage and sent to the incinerators for treatment was also collected by the public and reused in the park; thereby it reduced the amount of waste incinerated by the incinerator and the emission of incineration exhaust gas.
