Environmentally Sound Management of Hazardous and Industrial Wastes in Cement Kilns in China– Phase II

The Review Team has assessed the relevance, design, progress, efficiency, outcome, impact and sustainability of the project CHN-09/059 Environmentally Sound Management of Hazardous and Industrial Wastes in Cement Kilns in China, phase II. The main project implementation partners are FECO and CRAES (China) and SINTEF (Norway).

The cooperation between Norwegian and Chinese environmental authorities is based on a MoU between the two countries. Safe disposal of waste, both municipal waste and hazardous waste, constitutes a major challenge for China. At the same time, China is the largest cement producer in the world and modern cement kilns are very suitable for co-processing of waste. Norway has long experience in using cement kilns for this purpose, and SINTEF has been in the forefront of developing the necessary technology. The relevance of this project is seen as high for both China and Norway.
