Australia's Trisun Energy has aimed to build
a series of power generating waste treatment plants in Viet Nam, as the country
looks to 'green energy'. Sydney-based Trisun Energy Company has set a goal of
building up between 12 to 20 electricity generating waste treatment plants
capable of replacing coal-fired plants in Viet Nam in the next five to ten
years, the firm said on its website. Trisun Energy will aim to provide Viet Nam
with a “stable, non-harmful source of clean and green energy,” says the
statement. “Trisun’s intention over the next few years is to be the main
supplier of electricity for Viet Nam, helping to eliminate or greatly reduce
the burning of fossil fuels which produce toxic emissions and pollutants,
thereby improving the air quality and eliminating the need for landfills which
leach chemicals into groundwater,” it adds. The company in February secured a USD520
million treatment plant on the skirts of Ho Chi Minh City, capable of consuming
40% of the city’s daily waste volume. The waste treatment plants use electrical
energy and high temperatures created by an electric arc or plasma gasification.
The electric arc breaks down the waste into gas and solid waste (slag) in a
device known as a plasma converter. Trisun says the next step is to build a
second plant in Ha Noi, "and spread to other regions and locations
throughout the country". Waste treatment is a thorny problem in Viet Nam
given fast urbanization, especially in Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City, the two
most populous cities in the country where landfill method is mainly used. Japan-headquarters
Toyobo Co., Ltd. last year planned to invest in a plant to convert waste into
power instead of landfill in Ho Chi Minh City. Toyobo proposed treating waste
in the city by using microbial fermentation and then converting it into organic
material and energy.
