Ca Mau (VNS/VNA) - The People’s Committee of Ca Mau province has approved the investment policy for the Nam Can waste-to-energy plant, with a total investment of approximately 1.8 trillion VND (68.4 million USD).

The project will be implemented through a competitive bidding process to select an investor.

The waste-to-energy plant is planned for construction in Dat Moi commune, covering a total area of about 20 hectares.

It will have a waste treatment capacity of approximately 600 tonnes of household waste per day and a power generation capacity of 6MW.

Once operational, the plant will collect and treat waste from the communes of Phan Ngac Hien, Tan An, Dat Mui, Nam Can, Dat Moi and Tam Giang.

In addition to the Nam Can project that has already received investment approval, the province is also calling for investment in the provincial solid waste treatment complex, which includes a waste-to-energy incineration plant in Khanh An commune with an area of around 10 hectares.

Pham Van Thieu, Chairman of the provincial People’s Council, said that the province’s policy is to promote economic development without sacrificing the environment.

The province will direct planning efforts and attract investment in waste treatment plants using new technologies, avoiding landfilling.

These facilities apply modern technologies such as incineration, fertiliser production, recycling and even biomass power generation to comprehensively address household waste and solid waste issues. This approach is seen as a foundation for building a civilised, modern and sustainable urban environment./.
