With investment from Green Star Environment Company Limited, the high-tech waste-to-power plant has a designed waste-processing capacity of 800 tonnes per day, generating a total of 6.1 MWh of electricity.
The total investment is about 45 million USD.
This is the pioneering private waste incineration plant in Vietnam, the result of a comprehensive partnership between Green Star Environment Company Limited, Chosun Refractories ENG Company Limited, and SK Ecoplant Group (the Republic of Korea) in the field of developing waste incineration technology to generate electricity and deploying artificial intelligence solutions in waste incineration.
The factory operation is expected to soon become a pioneering model for exchanging carbon certificates according to the Paris agreement and the bilateral agreement between the RoK and Vietnam.
