Vietnam's first waste-to-power system launched in Hanoi

Vietnam'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
Hanoi's suburban district of Soc Son on September 16.

The project, jointly implemented by the Hanoi Urban Environment Company and
Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation
(NEDO), has Japanese technology and equipment.

It has a total investment of 645.2 billion VND, including 173 billion VND
from Hanoi's budget.

According to Nguyen Xuan Huynh, Vice General Director of the Hanoi Urban
Environment Company, this is the first project in Vietnam and the region
that uses modern waste treatment process.

The project, part of the Green Aid Plan of Japan, is significant for Hanoi
where the volume of industrial waste has increased and dumping ground is
narrower, he said.

Meanwhile, Minoru Furukawa, President of Japan's Hitachizosen Corporation
from Japan, a contractor of the project, said that after 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, dead animal
body, among others. Meanwhile, air and water released from the system are
cooled and filtered before releasing into the environment.
