Deputy PM Dung made the statement while receiving Sebastian
Rose, sales director of Germany’s
INTEC company, which has 30-year experience in industrial waste treatment, in Hanoi on June 11.
After being introduced to the German
company’s technology to turn solid waste into gas and energy, the Deputy PM
lauded the INTEC’s idea of investing in a waste-to-energy plant in Vietnam, saying
the country is in need of modern and suitable waste treatment technologies to
protect the environment.
However, he held that modern technology
is normally expensive and not suitable to the condition of Vietnam as most
of the technologies require waste classification.
Currently, waste in Vietnam is
basically treated by burying, which is harmful to the environment. Meanwhile,
the pilot of other technologies following the models applied in many countries
was not successful due to failure in waste classification, he noted, adding
that high price is another concern of Vietnam.
He asked the Ministry of Science and
Technology to coordinate with other ministries and sectors to verify and assess
economic-technical indications of the waste-to-energy technology of INTEC
company.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade was
assigned to work with relevant ministries and agencies to calculate the price
of power provided by solid waste-to-energy plants.
Deputy PM Dung also underscored the need to
design specific projects for pilot implementation, while reminding enterprises
to consider the possibility of producing lines and equipment domestically to
reduce costs.

Situated at the gateway to the Northwest, Hoa Binh province has a population of over 900,000, including about 540,000 of working age.

The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness.

These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
In 2024, the total state budget revenue of Hoa Binh Province is estimated at approximately VND 6,930 billion, achieving 183% of the Government’s target, 126% of the target assigned by the Provincial People's Council, and 145% compared to the same period last year.
