Introduction:
Opportunities and chances for the Netherlands
In the wake of China’s rapid economic growth in the past few decades, the
environment has suffered from industrial development and urbanisation.
In the next five years China will become the world’s biggest consumer of
energy and the biggest discharger of sewage, carbon dioxide and sulfur
dioxide emissions, while a growing middle class becomes ever more vocal
about environment concerns.
As a result sustainable growth is a major theme for China and is a major
theme in the 12th Five Year Plan (2011-2015). China is aggressively implementing domestic policy and regulatory reform to achieve its environmental targets and investment in clean technology will continue to increase,
providing opportunities for sustainable technologies in the broadest sense,
such as water purification, waste treatment, sustainable building, eco-city
development, soil sanitation, emission reduction, clean and energy efficient
production methods, environmental engineering, environmental monitoring and measuring equipment and others.
In the next five years China will become the world’s biggest
consumer of energy
China’s own environmental technology sector has developed rapidly in recent years as a result of this growing attention for environmental problems
and sustainability, but in many areas technology levels are still low, providing opportunities for foreign products and technologies. The output of
China’s environmental protection industry is estimated to grow at an average annual rate of 15% in the coming years.
For Dutch innovative niche sectors this trend implies challenges and opportunities. The challenges are presented by lower costs of domestic producers, unfair competition during government tenders and IPR protections.
The opportunities are inspired by potential demand in China for Dutch innovation, joint research & development and reconfiguration of production
chains. The sale of high-tech products and technologies in and with Chinese
companies generates the profits that are needed to finance new R&D in the
Netherlands.
Another challenge of the Chinese market is that often China is mainly interested in importing technologies or attracting investments rather than

buying equipment, and therefore technical cooperation, joint ventures or
establishing your own presence through a representative office or Wholly
Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE) will provide the most opportunities in
China. Nevertheless there will also remain opportunities for exports in a
variety of sectors.

Sub sectors
2.1
Water Purification
There are business opportunities in the field of purification of wastewater
and drinking water. The expected continued population growth in China
is likely to exacerbate current water shortages. Water resources available
per capita in China are only 2,200 m3, compared with the global average of
8,800 m3 per capita. To address potentially severe water shortages and natural water resource pollution in China, the Chinese government has enacted
stricter environmental standards and invested significantly in water treatment projects to promote sustainable economic growth.
The expected continued population growth in China is likely to exacerbate
current water shortages
China generated 57 billion tons of wastewater in 2008, of which 58% municipal and 42% industrial. This number is expected to grow to 79 billion tons
by 2015. By June 2010 there were 1519 municipal wastewater treatment
plants in China and 18 plants are added each week, with continued construction and upgrading expected for the near future. While several regulations regarding the treatment of wastewater have been implemented by
the national government in recent years, local enforcement remains weak.
Importance of water saving and treating water pollution was a focus in the
11th Five Year Plan of the central government and is continued to be a point
of attention in 12th Five Year Plan (2011-2015).
A key trend is a development of biological treatment processes with nitrogen and phosphorus removal, as well as increased use of separation, membrane and disinfection technologies, sludge treatment equipment and water
reclamation technologies. A recent report by the JLJ group identified good
prospects for sequencing batch reactor activated sludge process, biological aeration filter process and physical-chemical and biological processes
including sedimentation, filtration, anaerobic and aerobic activated sludge
technologies. Also we see an increased market potential for equipment,
software and integrated solutions for monitoring the quality of wastewater discharge. Challenges are that local governments often prefer foreign
direct investment in projects rather than buying equipment, and also there
are several domestic companies with competitive technologies. There are
still opportunities for foreign companies in bidding for equipment procurement, or by establishing a presence in China or through cooperation with
a local company and in some niches mentioned above. Possibilities can be

found in most coastal first and second tier cities (Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing,
Hangzhou, Qingdao, Jinan, Tianjin, Dalian, Guangzhou, etc.) as well as large
cities in central China such as Wuhan, Chengdu and Chongqing.
Activities of Chinese, Dutch and other foreign companies:
• Duoyuan Global Water is a leading domestic water treatment equipment supplier and has signed a licensing agreement with a US-based
firm to include high-end reverse osmosis membrane, nano-filtration
membrane and large-size membrane elements technology. By 2009, the
demand in China for these products had already exceeded RMB 20 billion and is estimated to continue to grow by 20-25% per year. Currently,
90% of this demand is being fulfilled by overseas imports. Duoyuan also
signed a licensing agreement with a Netherlands-based firm, which will
enhance ozone technology products by introducing more efficient and
energy-saving disinfection technology.
• Tri-Tech Holding Inc. provides leading turnkey solutions in China for
water resources, water and wastewater treatment, industrial safety and
the pollution control markets.
• Paques is offering industrial wastewater treatment equipment to a local
bioengineering company, Angel Yeast, in Wuhan.
• Dutch companies already active in the field are Norit and DHV.
2.2
Solid Waste Treatment
China is the largest producer of municipal solid waste (MSW), producing
250 million tons a year, as well as 2 billion tons of industrial waste. Around
80% percent of MSW is disposed by means of landfills.
Waste collection is done in two stages: collected from houses to local collection areas where the waste is separated, after which it is transported for
treatment and disposal. Many companies active in this business are small
firms that lack technological know-how or finances.
Only 10% of landfills in China meet international sanitary and
safety standards
Only 10% of landfills in China meet international sanitary and safety standards. Most are not very well managed and are quickly reaching maximum
capacity, so there is an urgent need for upgrading landfills and alternative
methods like incineration and waste-to-energy facilities.
Especially the well-developed and urbanized coastal areas will see rapid investment in incineration and other waste-treatment facilities in the coming
8
top sector ENERGY: ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY
Opportunities for Dutch companies
years. By the end 2015 it is expected that 35% of total waste will be incinerated. Beijing alone is planning to build nine large-scale incinerators by
2015.
China is improving its regulatory framework for waste treatment and management, with a series of laws passed in the recent years. However, especially in the provinces regulations are not always enforced. Many cities have
planned projects for better waste management and increased recycling, and
further improvements are needed to improve management, procedures
and technologies.
Also recycling efforts are being promoted, and the recycling sector is growing strong. According to a recent report by BCC, the recycling sector is expected to process 240 million tons of material by 2013, growing 9% annually, with the largest segment being metal recycling (expected 123 million
tons in 2013) and tires and rubbers the fastest growing (expected 4.2 million tons in 2013). The target for recycling rates in urban areas is 30-50% in
coming years.
Products in demand in which domestic producers are not yet very strong include sampling instruments, treatment equipment for hazardous, medical
and electronic waste, sanitary landfill and incineration equipment, sludge
treatment and recycling technologies, and waste to energy technologies.
A recent report by the JLJ Group identified second tier cities such Dalian,
Harbin, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Nanjing, Shenzhen and Chongqing as promising markets for waste treatment technologies. However local governments
generally prefer foreign direct investment in waste projects rather than
just buying equipment.

Emission Reduction
According to 2008 figures by the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection, almost 40% of Chinese cities did not meet the national standard II
of Air Quality, with 28% of the cities ranking below the national particulate matters standard and 21% below SO2 standards, with more than half of
Chinese cities suffering from acid rain. According to a World Bank report
China is home to 16 of the planet’s 20 most air-polluted cities. A study from
the Chinese Academy on Environmental Planning blamed air pollution for
411,000 premature deaths each year.
China burns more coal than the U.S., Europe and Japan combined, as around
70% of total energy needs are supplied by coal-fired power stations. In addition, there are large industrial emissions from industrial boilers and from
other industries such as metal smelting and production of construction materials (glass, cement).
The past five years the government has been quite successful in bringing
down sulphur dioxide emissions by power plants. The Chinese government
now requires all coal-fired power plants to have desulphurization equipment and regulations will be broadened to cover other polluting industries
as well. Flue gas desulphurization in China is mainly done using limestone.
In the current Five Year Plan, China has also set a 10% reduction target for
nitrogen oxide. Since 1-1-2012 new rules for power plants also include reduction of the mercury emission.
The market for air pollution control equipment is fragmented with a need
for different products for different industries and processes
The market for air pollution control equipment is fragmented with a need
for different products for different industries and processes, and demand is
expected to rise. In the De-Sox market, domestic service providers, often
owned by the large state-owned power-companies have captured most of
the markets, with foreign companies limited to supplying technology. It is
expected, according to the 2011 China Greentech Report that the De-Nox
market will develop in the same way. Nevertheless, there remain possibilities for foreign companies, and there are examples of foreign companies
like Fuel Tech and Babcock and Wilcox from the U.S. that have had successes in the Chinese market.
According to 2011 China GreenTech Report fly ash recycling is still lagging
behind, but extraction of valuable minerals might bring financial incentives and possibilities in this market.

Soil Remediation
China is facing serious environmental problems caused by contaminated
sites and surrounding soil. Often contaminated sites have been used to
build residential or commercial sites without investigation or cleanup. In
2006 the government started a National Soil Survey in order to assess the
situation and to form a basis for stricter regulation and future clean up efforts. Currently stricter laws are being drafted and are expected to be implemented soon, while some local governments (for example, Nanjing) are
already implementing stricter regulations locally, requiring clean up of industrial sites before re-development. While China’s focus at the moment is
still to acquire knowledge and technology, this sector might provide significant opportunities in the future in light of the scope of China’s problems
in this field. Technological cooperation between the Netherlands and China
is ongoing through the EVD-funded 2g@there project, carried out by the
Netherlands Soil Partnership.
2.5
Clean Production
In almost all sectors, demand for clean production technologies will rise.
The government is currently planning policies to encourage companies to
implement clean production methods, cutting pollution and reducing energy consumption throughout the production process, including design,
manufacturing and recycling. This will be done through preferential policies, tax-reductions and access to loans and financial support, as well as preferential treatment for government contracts. Investment projects that are
considered clean production projects will get priority in market access.
Investment projects that are considered clean production projects will get
priority in market access
These developments will continue to provide opportunities for all products and services that aid clean production in all sectors from manufacturing to agriculture, construction and services, such as energy efficient and
low-emission production equipment, consulting services, environmental
emergency response systems, meters and instruments for environmental
monitoring, noise control materials and equipment, environmental friendly materials and substances, environmental engineering and others.

Solid waste treatment
While Beijing’s 20 mln people produce 23,000 tonnes of waste each
day, Beijing government has struggled to keep up with the increasing volumes of waste. From 2005 to 2010, the capital collected an
average of 3,900 tonnes of waste a day beyond the capacity to treat.
Beijing is favouring incineration as a way to deal with the rubbish,
despite protests from residents and environmental groups. Beijing
burned just 10 per cent of its waste in 2010 and plans to raise that to
40 per cent by 2015. Beijing is also investing in technology that will
make landfills more economic, such as transfer gases from landfills
into electricity.
Emission reduction
Pollution emission reduction is a binding index for national twelfth
five-year program. Beijing will bring ammonia nitrogen and nitrogen
oxides into binding index, together with sulfur dioxide and chemical
oxygen demand. 50% of nitrogen oxides pollution in Beijing comes
from motor vehicles emissions. Vehicle emission control, especially
on high-polluted yellow-marked vehicles, has become one of important methods. Until the end of 2010, Beijing has scrapped more than
150,000 yellow-marked vehicles. In future five years, another 400,000
old vehicles will be scrapped. China vehicle emission standards will
be put into effect in 2012, which will reduce 40% of nitrogen oxides.
Clean production
In 2006 Beijing issued Provisional Measures about Clean Production
Examination. The municipal Development and Reform Commission
and the municipal Environment Protection Bureau are competent
authorities for examination and assessment on enterprises’ clean
production. And also the municipal government Measures about
Supporting Clean Production Fund to make financial assistance to
expensive renovations that are needed. This fund aims to help smallmedium enterprises to meet clean production criteria.
An amendment on the national legislation is considered, which
would define “excessive packaging of products” and a list of detailed
conditions under which compulsory clean production checks should
be imposed on enterprises.

Guangzhou
• Energy saving and environmental protection is one of 7 strategic
emerging industries for the upcoming 5 years. In 2010, turnover
was 170 billion RMB. Local environmental companies, especially a
number large enterprises with annual outputs over 1 billion yuan,
are mainly in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Foshan, showing a more
centralized industrial development than the Pearl River Delta’s other
areas. Companies in heavily polluting industries as the printing and
dyeing, electroplating, circuit board and cultivation industries were
forced to install their own sewage and hazardous waste treatment
systems.
• End 2010, Guangdong certificated 80 clean production technology
service companies, and clean production examination related works
have been implemented. Over 800 companies engage in resources
comprehensive utilization. In 2010, the output by comprehensively
using air, liquid and solid waste approximated 12.500 billion yuan, up
by 35% comparing to the year 2005. Apart from waste treatment and
clean production, fast-growing market developments are in related
areas, such as emission reduction, environmental management and
consultancy and soil remediation.
• Guangdong has released a series of guiding policies, including
the Provincial 12th Five-year industrial development plan on the 7
strategic emerging industries, the sector development plan on the
environmental protection industry and its subsectors such as solid
waste pollution prevention. According to these policies, waste treatment becomes a priority in terms of advanced technology application and project planning.
• Huizhou city, for example, is designated to be an integrated electronic waste treatment base to facilitate many electronic producers
in the area Shenzhen, Dongguan and Huizhou. The ceramic manufacturing industry in Foshan City is severely polluting and is pushed
for further emission control and waste treatment. The provincial
government will initiate pilot projects on kitchen waste collection
and treatment.
• In Guangdong, solid waste treatment (esp. waste-to-energy) could
offer opportunities for Dutch companies. As for clean production,
more attention could be given to high efficiency steam boiler systems, environmentally friendly coating techniques and underground
heat and cold storage. Globally spearheading in soil remediation
technology, this dominant position gives the Dutch great advantages
over its foreign competitors.
• Dutch expertise could also contribute to environmental consultancy and management, in particular advanced technologies on ocean
environmental protection, which are not only required in Guangdong
but also in other provinces at Chinese east coast.
• Although Guangdong’s environmental technology market is emerging, hardly any Dutch companies are involved so far. Considering
the huge market potentials showed in diversified areas and fierce
competition with Chinese domestic and other foreign companies,
unique expertise matching with local market demand should be
defined to further narrow down the niche market for Dutch pioneers.
A less-regulated, immature but promising market, however, should
be cautiously evaluated before stepping in.

Solid Waste Treatment
• Hong Kong needs to adopt new integrated waste management facilities (IWMF), as the existing three landfills will be exhausted within
6 years. The government plans to construct the world’s largest IWMF
on an artificial (reclaimed) island of 10 hectares. This IWMF will be a
waste-to-energy incinerator of 3,000-tonne-per-day and consists of
4 layers gas diffusions plus energy recovery. Project costs incl. land
reclamation are ca HK$ 15 billion (1.5 bln euros). Expected completion in 2019.
• The Government will develop an organic waste treatment facility at
another location. Meanwhile, another HK$8 billion (0.8bln euros) is
reserved for expansion of two existing landfills.
• These projects offer significant opportunities for Dutch companies,
such as mechanical-biological treatment (waste sorting & separation), waste-to-energy technologies, and recycling technologies for
handling batteries, tires, electronic goods, plastics and wood.
Emission Reduction
In 2010, HK published a low-carbon economic plan in 4 major areas:
1. cleaner electricity: promote use of nuclear energy (from Daya Bay,
Guangdong);
2. increasing energy efficiency of buildings, e.g. LED lighting, cooling
systems, green wall;
3. segregating and recycling or burning waste, e.g. recycling food
waste;
4. lowering vehicle emissions with hybrid or electric vehicles.
• HK has agreed with the authorities Guangdong Province to cut
emissions of major air pollutants, i.e. sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds to meet stringent caps by 2020.
Major property developers and many Hong Kong entrepreneurs are
pledged to reduce carbon emission.
• Same as Hong Kong, Macau imports power from China Southern
Power Grid to meet almost 70% of its total power need. Locally, Macau
will increasingly rely on natural gas for power generation in response
to the public’s desire for cleaner air. CEM (the only power utility company in Macau) will gradually replace the existing heavy fuel generation facilities at Macau Power Station with gas-fired generation
units.
Clean Production
• In 2010, Guangdong and Hong Kong signed a agreement to build
a Green Pearl River Delta area for a cleaner air, lower pollution and
a lower carbon emission environment. Hong Kong companies (regardless of their origin) are secured to take part in Clean Development Mechanism project by Beijing Environment Exchange http://
en.cbeex.com.cn. Dutch green tech companies may consider entering China’s environmental technology sector by partnering with Hong
Kong companies.
• Partnering with Hong Kong based firms has been a model for selling
to mainland factories; many of which are Hong Kong-owned. Recent
attention to air pollution, combined with plans to develop regional
emissions trading in China and Hong Kong, offer prospects for air pollution and emission reduction technologies.
