Project Context, Objectives and Description

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management represents an urgent issue for large Vietnamese cities where waste treatment is mainly operated through basic unsanitary landfills. In Viet Nam, MSW is generally disposed in landfills which accounted up to 76-82% collected waste. MSWTE is considered as one of the top priority solutions for Viet Nam thanks to its 2-fold benefit: help to cope with the increase in MSW and generate electricity to meet the growth in energy demands.

 

The objectives of this project are to i.) Support the investment project which will, once implemented, divert waste from landfill disposal, provide a source of renewable energy, and reduce reliance on coal-fired power ii.) Enable policy, financial, institutional and social conditions that will facilitate further investments in bankable WTE projects.  Once completed, the project is expected to treat MSW in the capacity of 500 ton/day and to generate 10 MW of electrical power.

 

The project aligns with IO1. Strengthened national, sub-national and local green growth planning, financing and institutional frameworks’ and IO2. ‘Increased green growth investment flows which enable partner governments to implement green growth policies.
