It is constructed and operated on a BOT (built-operation-transfer) basis for 30 years, with a designed daily household waste processing capacity of 2,000 tonnes and an annual electricity generation of 220 million KWh.

Mr. Chen Xiaoping, CEO of Everbright International, said, "The Nanjing Jiangnan Veinous Industrial Park is the Group's first veinous industrial park in a provincial capital city.

Everbright International will follow the "Opinions of the State Council on Speeding up the Development of Energy-efficient and Environmentally-friendly Industries" to expand in-depth research and encourage the practice of integrated utilization of waste. It will contribute to the development of the Industrial Park and support the introduction of new technologies. In addition, Everbright International will combine the construction of the Industrial Park with the development of an "Urban Mining" demonstration base and a pioneering ecological civilization demonstration zone to develop a leading veinous industrial park with advanced technology and the highest standards in the country.
