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.
政府计划到2040年在半岛建造18座固体废物能源化工厂，通过燃烧固体废物生产电力。据国会议员Nga Kor Ming称，目前在多个国家使用的废物能源化工技术已被证明在减少需要送往垃圾填埋场的固体废物方面很有效。
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.
这种技术在马来西亚使用是安全的，因为废物能源化工厂在高温下持续运行，并配备有废气治理系统，可以防止有害气体排放到环境中。
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，这种新技术不需要大面积的土地，也不会产生渗滤液、难闻气味和甲烷等对公共健康和环境有负面影响的气体。因此，这种废物能源化工概念是环境和人民福祉的最佳选择之一。
"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.
根据国家固体废物管理部门的调查，废物能源化工厂能够产生600兆瓦的可再生能源。他在回答Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Min的议题时说：
"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.
拟建的18个废物能源化工厂将建在吉打（Jabi和Padang Cina）、柔佛（Bukit Payung、Seelong和Sedili）、彭亨（Jabor-Jerangau和Belenggu）、马六甲（Sungai Udang）、吉隆坡（Rawang）、雪兰莪（Jeram、Tanjung 12和Rawang 2）、槟城（Pulau Burung）、霹雳（Lahat、Taiping和Manjung）、登嘉楼（Tertak Batu）和吉兰丹（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).
废物能源化工厂的建设仍处于规划阶段，取决于政府的财政状况以及所提供的废物能源化工模式的可持续性。
"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.
在发展综合固体废物管理系统的计划方面，政府将在今年建立100个回收收集中心，特别是在城市地区。
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.
同时，为了提高垃圾回收率，政府将扩大推动驱车回收站的建设，特别是在购物中心。
"We will expand so that all cities and major towns will have drive-through recycling centres, especially at their shopping malls.
他说：“同时，欢迎各方面的努力来帮助提高公众的意识，目标是到2025年将回收率提高到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.
“同时，希望加大宣传力度，通过提高公众意识帮助将该国的回收率从33%提高到2025年的40%，”他说。
