HCM City proposes new US$520 million power plant
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Planning and Investment has asked for approval from the city's People's Committee to build a waste-to-power plant using thermal plasma technology from Trisun Green Energy Company, according to Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper.
The US$520 million project, covering an area of 13ha and equipped with plasma torches to achieve temperatures of 3,000 degrees Celsius to incinerate waste, is expected to treat 2,000 tonnes of domestic waste daily.
The investor estimates that waste treatment by thermal plasma technology will cost US$32 per tonne.
The facility would charge US$31.88 a tonne if it treats 1,000 tonnes a day and US$29.88 a tonne if it treats 2,000 tonnes a day.
