- Guiyang municipality, Guizhou Province
The project consists in building a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) production plant which uses coke oven gas (COG) from an existing coking plant. The LNG would replace gasoline/diesel currently used by buses and taxis under the operation of GPTC. The project scope also includes the retrofitting of about 800 buses and 600 taxis to run on LNG, as well as 6 LNG filling stations.
The purpose of the project is to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) and other atmospheric pollutant emissions from an existing coking plant and from the tail gas of regular gasoline-fuelled buses (city public transport).

Environmental aspectsThe key objective of this allocation is to contribute to climate change mitigation. The schemes proposed under this project - if located in the EU - would be categorised as Annex I or II-type projects under the EIA 97/11 amended 2003/35 Directive, which would require a mandatory environmental impact assessment or a review by the competent authority for the need to carry out an EIA. The investment scheme shall be prepared in line with the relevant national and EU environmental standards, including due consideration for the social safeguards of the EIB. An EIA has already been prepared by specialised consultants. These issues will be addressed during the appraisal of the project.
The EIA for the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) production plant has been approved by the Guizhou Environmental Protection Bureau on February 20, 2009. Further assessment on the environmental impact of the LNG filling stations is a condition for disbursement.
The Bank will ask the promoter to ensure the project is implemented in compliance with the EIB’s Guide to Procurement.
