2 committed to greater china s circular economy In a traditional economy, we extract value from resources and then dispose of them once they are depleted. But in today s world of population growth and rapid urbanisation, protecting and optimising resources like water and waste is more vital than ever. Today only 2.5% of the Earth s water is fresh. We must ensure that the world has access to high-quality drinking water. Living in a circular economy, we extend the productivity of items and resources by improving how we utilise them. Then, at the end of their lifecycles, we recover value while returning their component materials safely into the biosphere. This is the ethos of SUEZ. A global leader in the circular economy, SUEZ helps towns and industries across five continents maintain, optimise and secure the resources that are essential for their future. Everyday humans produce 10 million tonnes of waste. We must give this potential resource a second life

3 SUEZ NWS sustainable resource management for greater china Sustainable resource management is important everywhere. But in Greater China, it s critical. In China, 20% of the global population lives on just 7% of the world s land and has access to only 7% of its fresh water. China also produces more than 70 billion tonnes of wastewater and 1 billion tonnes of garbage each year. Accelerated industrialisation and higher living standards are only adding to the strain. Change is imperative. We must urgently transform waste into resources through innovative programmes that meet current development needs, and which ensure the next generation has the resources it needs to thrive. SUEZ NWS Limited ( SUEZ NWS ) was established in 2017 when the long-term partnership between SUEZ and NWS Holdings Limited ( NWS Holdings ) was extended to cover all of SUEZ s business segments in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Today, SUEZ NWS works with municipal and commercial customers in the important areas of Water Management, Recycling & Waste Recovery, Water Treatment Infrastructure and Consultancy. a pioneer in greater china SUEZ NWS was one of the first foreign enterprises to invest in China. Our presence in China for more than 40 years makes SUEZ NWS a preferred partner in helping authorities and industrial clients develop innovative solutions for climate change and sustainable resource management.

8 industrial park water management SUEZ NWS provides integrated, cost-effective water management for industry. sewage treatment SUEZ NWS plants treat approximately 1.2 million cubic metres of sewage in Greater China every day. Chongqing Tangjiatuo Since December 2006, SUEZ NWS has been operating and managing the Chongqing Tangjiatuo Wastewater Treatment Plant, which serves more than 1 million residents in northern Chongqing with a treatment capacity of 400,000 cubic metres per day. Employing a state-of-the-art sewage treatment technique that meets the stringent national discharge standard, as well as extra measures to raise its resource recycling rate including sludge digestion, reduction and drying, hydro-power generation and a reclaimed wastewater recycling system it is considered the best-equipped, most advanced plant of its kind in China. 13 Hong Kong Pillar Point SUEZ NWS is providing upgrading, extension, and operations and maintenance services for the 550,000 cubic metres per day Pillar Point Sewage Treatment Plant. We have improved the plant s wastewater treatment performance with chemically enhanced pre-treatment featuring advanced SUEZ s Degremont DensaDeg technology as well as ultraviolet disinfection. It has also enhanced the plant s wastewater treatment capacity to meet the needs of the growing population in Hong Kong s northwest New Territories. Shanghai Chemical Industry Park In 2002, SUEZ NWS and Shanghai Chemical Industry Park established a joint venture to manage SCIP's entire water cycle. SUEZ NWS provides the Park with high-quality industrial and potable water, treating both domestic and highly polluted wastewater for nearly 100 companies. It also creatively reuses treated wastewater to produce demineralised water through tertiary treatment and membrane technology, which can save as much as 580,000 cubic metres of clean water each year. PetroChina Sichuan The Petrochina Sichuan wastewater treatment plant is the first in China s petrochemical industry to combine normal wastewater treatment, wastewater reuse, brine treatment and rainwater treatment. SUEZ NWS is responsible for its engineering and key equipment procurement. The plant is a showcase of SUEZ NWS water technology, featuring Degremont know-how such as DensaDeg, Oxyblue (brine treatment), DCI oil removal, flotation, A/O, V filtration, ultra-filtration, reverse osmosis, activated carbon filtration and sludge treatment. It also features the first brine treatment system in China, as well as a very high industrial wastewater recovery ratio. 14

9 water environment management sludge treatment and recycling SUEZ NWS is providing advanced solutions to Chinese cities to help manage their water environments. 2,000 tonnes of wet sludge are treated and recycled by SUEZ NWS every day. Suzhou Industrial Park The sludge-drying project invested in and operated by SUEZ NWS at Suzhou Industrial Park is a case study in excellence. The project adopts a patented SUEZ technology, Innodry 2E, which safely and efficiently uses the power plant s excess heat to dry sludge for repurposing into fuel. Every 100,000 tonnes of sludge can be converted into 17,000 tonnes of coal driving efficiency, reducing waste, and creating perfect synergy between the Park s power station, sewage treatment plant and sludge treatment facility. 15 Shenzhen Shangyang Environment Park The sludge-incineration project built by SUEZ NWS at Shenzhen Shangyang Environment Park is an excellent example of centralised management for sludge. The facility, which has a daily capacity of 800 tonnes, is designed to treat the sludge from more than 10 sewage plants in Shenzhen. It is also the first plant in China that applies SUEZ s patented Degremont technology - Thermylis, which features a two-phase excess heat recovery process. The advantage of this process is that sludge can be incinerated directly after primary drying under high temperature, minimising the consumption of auxiliary fuel. Chongqing Yuelai SUEZ NWS installs a monitoring and information platform with proprietary AQUADVANCED Urban Drainage Solution for the Chongqing Yuelai New City sponge city, a city that absorbs and cleans rainwater. This will enable the local water company and watershed administrations to monitor their sewage and storm water networksin real time, helping mitigate the risks of flooding and water quality degradation in receiving bodies of water. Shanghai Chemical Industry Park Wetlands SUEZ NWS is rehabilitating the existing wetland (Phase I) and designing a new wetland (Phase II) for Shanghai Chemical Industry Park, both located downstream of the SUEZ NWS wastewater treatment plant. The 50-hectare wetlands are being designed to achieve the tertiary treatment of effluents and guarantee the elimination of pollutants, improving the quality of the water discharged into the environment and allowing for its re-use. 16

10 SUEZ NWS is committed to waste reduction, resource recovery and the conversion of waste to energy. Our diverse expertise enables us to customise a wide range of waste management solutions that meet specific operational as well as environmental objectives of various business and industrial clients across Greater China. waste management from refuse to resource Our service areas in Greater China cover Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan as well as Shanghai, Beijing and Nantong in Mainland China. SUEZ NWS currently has 12 waste projects in Mainland China. The company is also a leading industrial player in Hong Kong, handling approximately 4.7 million tonnes in waste treatment volume per year for more than 7.3 million people living in the territory. we provide a complete waste management service that includes: Municipal, commercial and industrial waste collection Urban cleansing Design, construction and operation of transfer stations and mega landfill facilities Sludge delivery Organic waste recovery Waste-to-energy operations Restoration and aftercare of closed landfills 17 18

11 city-wide collection & urban cleaning hazardous & industrial waste incineration Cleanliness and hygiene are crucial aspects to consider when rating a city s quality of life, and they greatly influence first impressions for international travellers. SUEZ NWS operates fleets of more than 150 refuse collection vehicles in densely populated areas of Hong Kong and Macau, keeping these cities clean, neat and tidy for roughly 8 million inhabitants. Macau The Automatic Waste Collection System (AWCS) in Macau is an innovative refuse collection solution that saves space and eliminates common environmental impacts, whilst also being secure and user-friendly. One hundred and fifty outdoor disposal inlets connect with the integrated underground pipe network, which suck the waste to the compaction systems by vacuum. The AWCS deodorising and dust-filtering system and exhaust air channel reduce noise and environmental emissions. Odours and leachates are also controlled inside the inlets during the suction process. These inlets provide continuous, 24-hour, fully automatic operation, servicing approximately 15,800 households without even being noticed. 19 Hong Kong The Island West Transfer Station is the most spectacular among all SUEZ NWS transfer stations. The facility is built partly within a man-made cavern, and refuse transfer activity is carried out in the dual-level cavern system, minimising the potential urban nuisance. The station has a daily waste-handling capacity of more than 1,000 tonnes, compacting waste into customised containers that are shipped daily by sea on purpose-built vessels, to their final treatment destinations. Due to the intrinsically toxic nature of hazardous waste, having a sophisticated hazardous waste treatment facility is key, especially to make industrial development compatible with dense-populations. Shanghai The largest hazardous waste incineration plant in Asia, our facility at the Shanghai Chemical Industry Park, has a capacity of 120,000 tonnes per year. It is equipped with an EU-standard off-gas emission control system that continuously monitors air emissions online and is directly linked to the Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau. The energy recovery system uses excess heat to produce and supply steam to businesses operating in the Park, thereby helping reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. Both the air emission and energy recovery systems align with the principles of the circular economy, reducing pollutants and saving energy. Nantong Our plant in the Nantong Economic and Technological Development Area, which began operations in 2016, is the largest hazardous waste incineration facility in Jiangsu with designed annual treatment capacities of 30,000 tonnes of hazardous waste and 3,300 tonnes of medical waste. Modelled on the success of the Shanghai Chemical Industry Park, this plant s energy recovery system also enables excess heat to be recovered to produce steam for other businesses in the Area. Its air emission performance meets EU standards, and the facility is monitored online 24 hours a day by the Environmental Protection Department of Jiangsu Province. 20

12 waste to energy strategic landfill Waste-to-energy recovers the calorific power of waste and turns it into electricity or heat, mainly by incineration or methanation. This conversion of waste into resources is also an efficient way to reduce waste volume by up to 90%, considerably prolonging the life of landfill facilities. Solid waste residue cannot be eliminated, so an engineered containment landfill remains the ultimate means for waste disposal. SUEZ NWS expertise includes design, construction, operation, closure, restoration and aftercare of landfills as well as post-operation resource extraction. In Hong Kong, we manage more than 12,000 tonnes of waste per day via two of the world s largest strategic landfills and seven restored landfills, all comply with the Hong Kong Government's highest technical and environmental requirements. Taiwan Our Renwu Incineration Plant in Kaohsiung of Taiwan is designed to treat a total of 1,350 tonnes of both municipal solid waste and industrial solid waste per day. Its combustion process generates energy in the form of heat, which is recovered to produce electricity that not only provides in-plant power but is also primarily exported to the power grid for redistribution. Waste burned in the facility is considered a renewable fuel that can replace conventional and non-renewable fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil that are typically consumed to generate electricity. Hong Kong In Hong Kong, SUEZ NWS experience and technological expertise drive a highly efficient animal waste composting plant and a first-of-its-kind food waste treatment facility. The Organic Waste Treatment Facility (OWTF) on Hong Kong s Lantau Island has capacity to treat 73,000 tonnes of commercial and industrial food waste per year. It turns residue into biogas and compost, using biological treatment processes including anaerobic digestion and composting. The biogas produced by the OWTF can be used as renewable energy. It is estimated that approximately 14 million kwh of surplus electricity could be supplied to the power grid per year enough to power 3,000 households. This renewable energy could also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25,000 tonnes per year by replacing the use of fossil fuels for electricity generation. SUEZ NWS designs, constructs, operates and maintains sludge handling and disposal facilities under Stage 2A of Hong Kong s Harbour Area Treatment Scheme. These include two brand-new self-propelled vessels, Clean Harbour 1 and Clean Harbour 2, and 400 sludge container units for transporting sludge from the Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works to the sludge treatment facility. These operations significantly help minimise impacts on road traffic and the environment. SUEZ NWS is more than a landfill operator; it also gives waste a second life by turning it into a source of energy. The degradation of landfill waste generates gas, which can be collected through a system of pipes and wells. This naturally recovered energy can then be used to generate thermal energy for electrical power. The group s North East New Territories (NENT) Landfill collects and converts landfill gas into high-quality synthetic natural gas, which can be re-used as a refined bio-fuel and a heating fuel alternative to naphtha. More than 320,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions have been avoided and 107,000 tonnes of fossil fuel have been saved since the NENT Landfill gas utilisation project was launched in special waste delivery The first registered environmentally friendly vessels in Hong Kong, Clean Harbour 1 and Clean Harbour 2 use super-low-sulphur diesel whilst travelling and switch to electric power when berthing. They help reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by 130 tonnes, equivalent to the carbon dioxide absorption of 6,000 trees per year

13 SCIP Water Research Centre (SWRC) : In 2006, SUEZ NWS and its local partners Shanghai Chemical Industry Park, Tongji University and East China University of Science and Technology set up the first research centre in China specialising in industrial water supply and wastewater treatment.
