Kenji Takayama, a Kawasakirepresentative, requested Ha Nam province to assist his company inbuilding a feasibility study for the project, following the successfuldevelopment of a pilot waste treatment technology project by theJapanese firm for the Vicem But Son Cement JSC.
The outcome of the feasibility study will be reported back to the provincial People’s Committee for a final decision.
He also promised that the technology causes no harm to the local environment.
Two of the project’s waste treatment lines are capable of handling acombined 600 tonnes of waste per day, while Ha Nam currently generatesonly around 100 tonnes.
Thus, Takayama advised Ha Nam to treatmore waste received from other surrounding localities once the projectis put into operation.
If the project proves feasible, theDepartment of New Energy and the Industrial Technology DevelopmentOrganisation (NEDO) of Japan will fund 50 percent of the total cost forthe 15 million USD project, the guest revealed.
Vice Chairmanof the provincial People’s Committee, Nguyen Xuan Dong, who joinedfact-finding tours to inspect the same waste treatment technologyapplied in Japan and China, said Ha Nam backs the feasibility study, andput his faith in the benefits the project would bring about.-VNA
