Project Status
Proposed
Stage of the project cycle. Stages vary by development bank and can include: pending, approval, implementation, and closed or completed.
Bank Risk Rating
B
Environmental and social categorization assessed by the development bank as a measure of the planned project’s environmental and social impacts. A higher risk rating may require more due diligence to limit or avoid harm to people and the environment. For example, "A" or "B" are risk categories where "A" represents the highest amount of risk. Results will include projects that specifically recorded a rating, all other projects are marked ‘U’ for "Undisclosed."

Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to the bank document, the project will develop:

(i) agricultural waste-to-energy systems in four locations in rural areas; and

(ii) low-carbon, low-pollution, and energy-efficient heating, cooling, and power production systems in seven locations in rural and semi-urban areas in Qingdao City.

The agricultural waste-to-energy systems will use carbon-neutral biomethane for power generation and biomass briquettes as heating fuel. The low-carbon heating, cooling, and power production systems in rural and suburban areas, on the other hand, will use cleaner fuel sources, such as natural gas, and waste heat recovered from wastewater at municipal sewage plants, instead of coal.

As a result, energy intensity is expected to reduce by 40%, and carbon intensity by 64%, from the averages achieved by comparable standard systems now in use in the northern PRC (The project is expected to achieve average energy intensity of 0.35 gigajoules per square meter (m2), compared with the present average of 0.56 gigajoules per m2 in the PRC, and to produce carbon emissions of 20 kilograms per m2, compared with 70 kilograms per m2 from coal-based systems.).

The project will also promote high-quality equipment and system design by organizing technology exchange sessions with providers of advanced technology solutions.

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF ADB

The Accountability Mechanism is an independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an Asian Development Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, they may investigate to assess whether the Asian Development Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can learn more about the Accountability Mechanism and how to file a complaint at: http://www.adb.org/site/accountability-mechanism/main
