Deputy Chairman of the HCM City People’s Committee Le Manh Ha has
proposed that the city build a power plant from discharged waste.
He
suggested the idea to the municipal Department of Science and
Technologies, the HCM City Power Company and other agencies, Tuoi Tre
(Youth) newspaper reported.
The plant will consume 1,000 tonnes
of waste a day to produce 600,000kWh of electricity. It will use Stoker
boiler technology from the Republic of Korea.
HCM City discharges 7,500 tonnes of waste a day and more than 80 percent is organic.-VNA
