The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is extending $200 million in loans to the Dynagreen Environmental Protection Group Company to help small and medium-sized cities in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) turn their growing mountains of solid waste into a sustainable source of renewable energy. The loan agreement was signed today in Beijing.
“Unlike large cities which are implementing waste-to-energy projects through public-private partnerships, smaller municipal governments have difficulty attracting private sector interest, which results in large amounts of untreated waste leading to harmful gas emissions and soil and groundwater contamination,†said Hisaka Kimura, Principal Investment Specialist of ADB’s Private Sector Operations Department.
The PRC is the world’s second largest producer of solid waste, generating more than 220 million tons annually. Although the per capita production of solid waste in the PRC is only about 20% of the average in industrialized nations, it is expected to grow considerably in small and medium-sized cities where huge population growth is expected by 2030.
Developing waste-to-energy plants for smaller cities will address these challenges, and generate a valuable source of renewable energy as well.
The ADB loan will help build at least nine plants capable of converting up to 6,300 tons of municipal solid waste daily into electricity. The plants are expected to generate around 610 gigawatt-hours of electricity a year by 2018, using clean technologies.
The project was identified and developed by ADB’s public sector operations and financed by private sector operations under its new Public-Private Partnership initiative.
Dynagreen, the environmental infrastructure arm of Beijing State-Owned Assets Management Company, will develop and operate these facilities under public-private partnership arrangements. Unlike many of its peers, Dynagreen employs technology which does not require coal as a supplemental fuel to burn the waste. By using fossil fuel substitute and avoiding methane emissions, the plants will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the PRC by about 450,000 tons a year.
ADB is extending a direct loan from its ordinary capital resources of $100 million equivalent in yuan and a local currency complementary loan of up to $100 million equivalent to be funded by commercial banks. An associated technical assistance grant of $500,000 from ADB will also help Dynagreen enhance its corporate governance system.

More than 60,000 households in rural India will have better access to electricity by 2015 as Simpa Networks, a company supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), scales up the sales of its off-grid, pay-as-you-go solar energy solutions.
ADB has signed a $2 million equity investment in Simpa Networks, a company that offers a simple, prepaid payment platform to enable affordable clean energy solutions for underserved consumers in India.
“The success of this entrepreneurial venture could lead to increased venture capital funding for inclusive business models which deliver goods and services to those at the base of the economic pyramid,†said Aniruddha Patil, Investment Specialist with ADB’s Private Sector Operations Department.
Greater access to electricity in rural India will enable children to study beyond sunset, replace smoky fuels such as kerosene with clean solar energy, improve respiratory health of household members, and improve overall productivity of rural households.
“Our mission is to make clean energy simple, affordable, and investible. Our relationship with ADB will help us advance that mission, demonstrate the commercial viability of investing in small scale distributed solar, and mobilize more funds into the sector. The end goal, of course, is to expand access to clean, reliable electricity,†said Paul Needham, President of Simpa Networks.
Simpa’s customers make a small initial downpayment for a high quality solar home system and then pre-pay for their energy service, topping up their systems in small user-defined increments using a mobile phone. Each payment also adds towards their final purchase price. Once fully paid, the system unlocks permanently and continues to produce electricity. The technology is also offered to solar micro-grid developers as an extremely flexible prepaid metering, customer, and revenue management solution.
Simpa Networks was established in 2010 by Paul Needham, Jacob Winiecki, and Michael Macharg—three accomplished and highly regarded entrepreneurs with a proven track record in energy access, micro-payments, and information technology. Simpa’s operations in India are based out of Bengaluru in Karnataka.
Established in 2008, the Energy for All Initiative strengthens ADB’s support for innovative projects that provide energy access, and seeks to identify the best business energy access models and works with entrepreneurs to learn from, replicate and scale up these successes.

Headquartered in Texas, USA, Epsilon International is a leading supplier of multi-channel and data driven marketing technologies as well as services. It is the world’s largest permission-based email marketer, deploying more than 40 billion emails annually on behalf of its global client-base. Due to expansion of its Asian business, Epsilon has leased space in Hopewell Centre and commissioned IFI Design – Ms. Fiona Chan to design and build an office of the highest aesthetic standards. The project covered layout design and 3D perspective, contractor quotation and tendering, liaison with the landlord, material and furniture procurement, construction drawings, work scheduling and supervision.
Â
A bright spot in the design of the office is a 20-person conference room. Initially, Fiona recommended double glazed glass for more privacy and widening the gap between the glass for maximum acoustic effect.
Â
However, after in-depth analysis and practicality evaluation, there was concern that it would block natural light from coming into the reception area which is immediately outside the conference room. To balance the need for superior spatial effect and privacy and sufficient natural light, Fiona suggested a switchable glass. When it is switched off, the glass becomes clear, allowing the transmission of light to reduce energy consumption. To enhance privacy, it can be switched on during meetings to produce a glazed effect. The use of a glass partition adds an aura of refinement to the conference room. It was a perfect match blending the exquisite design with the office layout.
