Can Tho – Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Can Tho city Huynh Thanh Su had a working session on November 28 with representatives from the China Gezhouba Group Corporation (CGGC), a member of the China Energy Engineering Group Co., Ltd.

Ta Ba Tung, strategic customer director of the CGGC in Vietnam, stated that the corporation has been investing in several projects in Vietnam, such as the 1,200 MW coal-fired power plant in the northern province of Hai Duong, the 70 MW wind power projects in the south-central provinces of Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan, and the 600 MW coal-fired power plant (Phase 1) in the northern city of Hai Phong. It is also planning to construct coal-fired and wind power projects in Nam Dinh and Dak Lak provinces.

The CGGC wants to cooperate with Can Tho to develop a waste-to-energy plant, with a total investment of 1.2-1.5 trillion VND (47.3-59.2 million USD). Once operational, the plant is able to process 400-600 tonnes of waste a day, and generate around 64 million kWh annually, said Tung.

During the meeting, representatives from the CGGC also introduced the waste treatment technologies it is implementing in China, while gathering information on Can Tho's waste treatment needs.

Su stated that the city is calling for investment in many projects across various sectors, including commerce, services, transportation, and energy. The municipal People's Committee has issued a list of priority investment projects, which includes a second solid waste treatment project at the solid waste treatment complex in Thoi Lai district.

In the first half of 2024, the amount of household solid waste generated in Can Tho City was nearly 118,000 tonnes, equivalent to over 648 tonnes per day. Compared to the capacity of the two plants operating in city, the excess waste currently amounts to about 148 tonnes per day./.
