Toshiba Clean Development Service Company, a joint venture between Toshiba and Vietnam’s Nguyen Vu Company, will use the Japanese enterprise’s high concentration organic wastewater treatment technology to recover biogas. It will then make the recovered gas available to factories to use as fuel.

In the 2009 fiscal year, the company will build a plant capable of recovering greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 70,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. The plant is expected to become operational in January 2010.

The company’s objective in Vietnam is to recover 500,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
