Deputy PM Dung made the statement while receiving Sebastian
Rose, sales director of Germany’s
INTEC company, which has 30-year experience in industrial waste treatment, in Hanoi on June 11.
After being introduced to the German
company’s technology to turn solid waste into gas and energy, the Deputy PM
lauded the INTEC’s idea of investing in a waste-to-energy plant in Vietnam, saying
the country is in need of modern and suitable waste treatment technologies to
protect the environment.
However, he held that modern technology
is normally expensive and not suitable to the condition of Vietnam as most
of the technologies require waste classification.
Currently, waste in Vietnam is
basically treated by burying, which is harmful to the environment. Meanwhile,
the pilot of other technologies following the models applied in many countries
was not successful due to failure in waste classification, he noted, adding
that high price is another concern of Vietnam.
He asked the Ministry of Science and
Technology to coordinate with other ministries and sectors to verify and assess
economic-technical indications of the waste-to-energy technology of INTEC
company.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade was
assigned to work with relevant ministries and agencies to calculate the price
of power provided by solid waste-to-energy plants.
Deputy PM Dung also underscored the need to
design specific projects for pilot implementation, while reminding enterprises
to consider the possibility of producing lines and equipment domestically to
reduce costs.
