The Environmental Protection Agency is building the first "Super Incinerator" on an artificial island off the coast of Shiguzhou. The waste-to-energy facility I·PARK1 is used to treat municipal solid waste. About 6,000 metric tons of giant electromechanical equipment components arrived in Hong Kong by waterway. The components are among the largest of their kind in the world, equivalent to the steel structure weight of about 5 Eiffel Towers in Paris.
The Environmental Protection Agency pointed out that I·PARK1 is expected to be put into service in 2025. During the process of incinerating waste, it can "turn waste into energy" and can output about 480 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, enough for 100,000 households.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, six boiler combustion components and six flue gas treatment system components prefabricated in Zhuhai have a total weight of 50,000 metric tons, which is equivalent to the steel structure weight of about 5 Eiffel Towers in Paris. The boiler combustion components weigh about 6,000 metric tons. It is the largest of its kind in the world, and the remaining 11 electromechanical equipment components will arrive in Hong Kong successively within this year.

Expected to be in service in 2025 to provide electricity to 100,000 households
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, I·PARK1 is expected to be put into service in 2025 and can process 3,000 metric tons of municipal solid waste per day.
During the process of incinerating municipal solid waste, the facility will recover waste energy to generate electricity. It is estimated that after full operation, it can output about 480 million kilowatt-hours of surplus electricity to the public grid every year, enough for 100,000 households.
The Environmental Protection Agency continued to point out that it is arranging to hire consultants to conduct environmental impact assessment and technical research on the site selection of I·PARK2 in the middle of Tsang Tsui Coal Ash Lake in Tuen Mun, and will launch a territory-wide site selection study to find other suitable sites for waste-to-waste construction. The location of the facilities can achieve the goals of "zero waste landfill" and carbon neutrality proposed in the "Hong Kong Resource Circulation Blueprint 2035" and "Hong Kong Climate Action Blueprint 2050".
