On May 19, in Xuan Mai commune, Xuan Mai Urban Environment Company and Cam Thach Xanh Joint Stock Company (GMC) organized the Groundbreaking Ceremony of the Nui Thoong High-Tech Environmental Treatment and Power Generation Plant Project.
The Nui Thoong High-Tech Environmental Treatment and Power Generation Plant project has a total investment of about 5,250 billion VND, a treatment capacity of 2,000 tons of waste/day and night, and a power generation capacity of 45MW.
This is the first high-tech waste-to-energy plant project in the Southwest of Hanoi, expected to become a "strategic piece" in the capital's waste-to-energy map. Thereby, contributing to reducing landfill rates, promoting circular economic development and strengthening the capacity to treat domestic solid waste for the Southwest of the city.
When put into operation, the plant is expected to treat about 660 thousand tons of waste per year, and also generate about 356 million kWh/year into the national grid.
Mr. Vu Ngoc Tu - General Director of Cam Thach Xanh Joint Stock Company (GMC) - said that the project is invested with the goal of treating waste using modern technology, reducing landfilling, regenerating clean energy and contributing to the development of the circular economy. Automatic waste gas, leachate, ash and slag treatment systems and environmental monitoring will also be invested synchronously to ensure strict control of environmental standards according to regulations...
Speaking at the ceremony, Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Bui Duy Cuong said that the Nui Thoong High-Tech Environmental Treatment and Power Generation Plant Project is an important project for Hanoi's environmental protection work. After more than 10 years of preparing investment procedures, the project has officially been started and implemented, contributing to improving waste treatment capacity and serving the sustainable development goals of the Capital.
Currently, Hanoi generates more than 8,000 tons of domestic waste and many other types of solid waste every day. Although the city has two waste-to-energy plants in Soc Son and Xuan Son, there are still about 1,500 tons of waste that must be treated by landfill every day.
The formation of a waste-to-energy plant in the South and Southwest of the Capital will significantly reduce transportation costs, while limiting environmental pollution caused by leachate and odors generated during waste transportation," Mr. Bui Duy Cuong emphasized.
