發布於 2024-06-11 10:38:13
The Ministry of Economic Affairs is reversing (推翻) the Taoyuan city government's decision to halt the construction of three solid recovered fuel power plants.
Taoyuan officials had previously revoked permits for companies Cleanaway, Taiwan Cube Energy and Li Jiang Development due to application issues.
But Cleanaway submitted an appeal.
The M-O-E-A overturned the decision by the Taoyuan City Government, allowing the projects to proceed.
Taoyuan Mayor Chang San-cheng said the decision was regrettable.
But he says he is committed to closely monitoring the construction of the plants to protect the health of city residents.
S-R-F is a fuel made from commercial waste.
It offers potential environmental benefits over coal.
But it also raises concerns about pollution and recycling disincentives.
