Receiving and working with the delegation were Mr. Tran Huu Thuy Giang, Member of the City Party Committee and Vice Chairman of Hue City People’s Committee, along with representatives of leaders from relevant departments, agencies, and sectors.
At the working session, representatives of Hue City People’s Committee shared experience in calling for investment, implementing construction, and putting into operation the Phu Son waste-to-energy plant - a household solid waste treatment project using waste incineration for power generation, contributing to reducing environmental pollution, saving landfill land resources, and moving toward the goals of circular economy development and green growth.
The Phu Son waste-to-energy plant is invested in by EB Environmental Energy Co., Ltd., with multi-stage grate furnace incineration technology combined with power generation, with an exhaust gas treatment system that meets European standards. The project commenced on November 16, 2021, with a total investment of nearly 1.700 billion VND; a processing capacity of 600 tons of waste per day, a power generation turbine capacity of 12 MW, and a post-treatment landfill rate of under 7%. The plant was completed and began trial operation in January 2024, and is currently receiving and treating household waste from 33 out of 40 wards and communes in Hue City.
In addition to the field of waste treatment, Hue City also introduced the model of the Smart Urban Monitoring and Operations Center (IOC), including its operating mechanism and the integration and interconnection of data across multiple sectors such as field feedback, public security and order monitoring, traffic, environment, and public administrative services... Through this, it contributes to improving the effectiveness of state management and the quality of services for citizens and businesses.
The Ha Tinh provincial working delegation highly appreciated Hue City’s systematic and synchronized approach to household waste treatment and smart urban development, while also exchanging and clarifying many issues related to technology selection, investment models, financial resources, as well as difficulties and obstacles encountered during practical implementation.
