Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh accelerates waste-to-energy initiatives
In Vietnam, Saigon Giai Phong News reported that the cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh are accelerating the implementation of waste-to-energy projects.
The report noted that Hanoi will expedite the progress of the Thien Y waste-to-energy plant to ensure the incineration of the entire daily waste quantity of 5,500 tons deposited at the Nam Son landfill.
According to the report, Hanoi is currently carrying out waste-to-energy projects in the western and southern areas of the city to redirect waste transportation and alleviate pressure on the Nam Son landfill. Furthermore, the Seraphin waste-to-energy plant, situated in Son Tay Town, is projected for completion by late 2023, and is set to start operations in early 2024 with a daily incineration capacity of around 2,000 tons.
In the meantime, Ho Chi Minh is currently engaged in five projects aimed at converting waste treatment technology into waste-to-energy solutions.
Ho Chi Minh government has authorized investment in two technology conversion initiatives led by Vietstar Joint Stock Company with a capacity of 2,000 tons per day, and Tam Sinh Nghia Investment Development Joint Stock Company with a capacity of 2,000 tons per day.
