Lockton joined force with insurer teams have recently conducted a risk assessment and safety audit at AVIC Shougang REIT Biomass’ power generation project in Beijing. The teams’ effort helped the client in identifying hidden risks, enhance safety management, and ensure reliable operation of their important green energy initiative.
Biomass power: turning waste into green energy
Biomass power generation transforms municipal waste into renewable electricity and helps in cutting emissions as China advances in its Carbon Peak 2030 and Carbon Neutrality 2060 goals. These projects not only support local waste management but also play a vital role in the country’s green development.
However, biomass facilities face unique risks such as fire, explosion, and electrical hazards which necessitate strong and critical safety controls to ensure the industry’s long-term success.
Four priorities for safer operations
Drawing on national standards, Lockton highlights four key areas for biomass plant safety:
- Electrical safety – Prevent mistakes in operations, maintain insulation, ensure reliable grounding.
- Facility maintenance– Manage all equipment across its lifecycle, protect moving parts, monitor high temperatures.
- Operational processes – Standardize procedures, enforce work permits, and verify operator qualifications.
- Fire emergency readiness – Strengthen fire-fighting systems, emergency power supply, and lightning protection.
