Viet Nam’s first waste-to-energy system
capable of generating 1,930kW of power by treating 75 tonnes of industrial
waste per day was launched in Ha Noi’s suburban district of Soc Son on
September 16th. The project, jointly implemented by the Ha Noi Urban
Environment Company and Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology
Development Organisation (NEDO), uses Japanese technology and equipment. It has
a total investment of VND 645.2 billion, including VND 173 billion from Ha Noi’s
budget. According to Nguyen Xuan Huynh, Vice General Director of the Ha Noi
Urban Environment Company, this is the first project in Viet Nam and the region
to use modern waste treatment processes. The project, part of the Green Aid
Plan of Japan, is significant for Ha Noi as the volume of industrial waste has
increased and dumping grounds are minimal, he said. Meanwhile, Minoru Furukawa,
President of Japan’s Hitachizosen Corporation from Japan, a contractor of the
project, said that after a trial operation until December 2016, the system will
be officially run and connected to the national power grid. Materials for the
system include solid waste, fabrics, plastics, animal carcasses, among other
things. Meanwhile, air and water released from the system are cooled and
filtered before being released into the environment.
