Govt Plans To Build 18 Waste To Energy Plants By 2040
The government is planning to build 18 waste-to-energy (WTE) plants that combust solid waste to produce electricity in the peninsula by 2040, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.
政府計劃到2040年在半島建造18座固體廢物能源化工廠，通過燃燒固體廢物生產電力。據國會議員Nga Kor Ming稱，目前在多個國家使用的廢物能源化工技術已被證明在減少需要送往垃圾填埋場的固體廢物方面很有效。
Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming said the WTE technology currently being used in several countries has proven effective in reducing the amount of solid waste that needs to be sent to landfills.
這種技術在馬來西亞使用是安全的，因爲廢物能源化工廠在高溫下持續運行，並配備有廢氣治理系統，可以防止有害氣體排放到環境中。
The technology is safe to use in Malaysia because the WTE plant operates at a consistently high temperature and is equipped with a flue gas treatment system that prevents harmful gases from being released into the environment.
此外，這種新技術不需要大面積的土地，也不會產生滲濾液、難聞氣味和甲烷等對公共健康和環境有負面影響的氣體。因此，這種廢物能源化工概念是環境和人民福祉的最佳選擇之一。
"Additionally, this new technology does not require a large area of land and does not produce leachate, foul smell and methane gas that has a negative impact on public health and the environment. Hence, this WTE concept is one of the best options for the environment and people's well-being.
根據國家固體廢物管理部門的調查，廢物能源化工廠能夠產生600兆瓦的可再生能源。他在回答Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Min的議題時說：
"According to a survey by the National Solid Waste Management Department, the WTE plant is capable of generating 600 megawatts of renewable energy," he said in reply to Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Min during Question Time.
擬建的18個廢物能源化工廠將建在吉打（Jabi和Padang Cina）、柔佛（Bukit Payung、Seelong和Sedili）、彭亨（Jabor-Jerangau和Belenggu）、馬六甲（Sungai Udang）、吉隆坡（Rawang）、雪蘭莪（Jeram、Tanjung 12和Rawang 2）、檳城（Pulau Burung）、霹靂（Lahat、Taiping和Manjung）、登嘉樓（Tertak Batu）和吉蘭丹（Jedok）。
The 18 proposed WTE plants will be built in Kedah (Jabi and Padang Cina); Johor (Bukit Payung, Seelong and Sedili); Pahang (Jabor-Jerangau and Belenggu); Melaka (Sungai Udang); Kuala Lumpur (Rawang); Selangor (Jeram, Tanjung 12 and Rawang 2); Penang (Pulau Burung); Perak (Lahat, Taiping and Manjung), Terengganu (Tertak Batu), and Kelantan (Jedok).
廢物能源化工廠的建設仍處於規劃階段，取決於政府的財政狀況以及所提供的廢物能源化工模式的可持續性。
"The construction of the WTE plants is still at the planning stage, and subject to the government's financial position as well as the sustainability of the WTE model offered," Nga said.
在發展綜合固體廢物管理系統的計劃方面，政府將在今年建立100個回收收集中心，特別是在城市地區。
On the plan to develop an integrated solid waste management system, the government will create 100 recycling collection centres this year, especially in urban areas.
同時，爲了提高垃圾回收率，政府將擴大推動驅車回收站的建設，特別是在購物中心。
"We will expand so that all cities and major towns will have drive-through recycling centres, especially at their shopping malls.
他說：“同時，歡迎各方面的努力來幫助提高公衆的意識，目標是到2025年將回收率提高到40%。”
"At the same time, efforts to help enhance public awareness are very much welcomed to help increase the country's recycling rate from 33 per cent to 40 per cent by 2025," he said.
“同時，希望加大宣傳力度，通過提高公衆意識幫助將該國的回收率從33%提高到2025年的40%，”他說。
