VietNamNet Bridge – The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) of Japan has granted 1,770 million Japanese yen (over VND472.1 million) in non-refundable aid to a Hanoi-based plant to generate electricity from waste.

Construction work started on September 19 at the Nam Son industrial waste treatment site located in Hanoi’s outlying district of Soc Son.

Once completed in the next 12 months, the over VND612.2-million plant is expected to handle 75 tonnes of waste/day and generate 1,930 kW/day.

The plant will help improve energy efficiency, protect the environment, and reduce power shortages in Hanoi. It will also ease pressure on solid waste landfills by treating industrial and hazardous waste in the city.
