First privately owned waste-to-energy plant in Vietnam begins operation

A US$58 million waste-to-energy plant in northern Vietnam’s Bac Ninh province has officially started operating, Vietnam Plus is reporting. The project is a joint venture between Vietnam’s Green Star Environmental Company and South Korea’s Green Star Environmental Company Chosun Refractories ENG and SK Ecoplant. The plant can process 800 tonnes of waste a day and can produce up to 40 million kilowatts of electricity a year.

Of note, when the project kicked off in December of 2021 the operational deadline was the fourth quarter of 2023. This project has come online right on time–it’s not unusual for projects of all types to face significant delays.
