(CPV) – On November 26, the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City held a symposium calling for investment in solid waste treatment by burning-electricity technology.

Attending the conference were Nguyen Thien Nhan, Member of Politburo, Secretary of Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee;Nguyen Thanh Phong, member of the Party Central Committee, chairman of the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, representatives of ministries and central branches, representatives of 18 provinces and cities in the South, leading scientists in the field Waste treatment, especially more than 40 domestic and international investors.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Vice Chairman Tran Vinh Tuyen said that besides the rapid economic development and rapid urbanization, Ho Chi Minh City is facing many challenges. Traffic jams, floods and the environment, one of which is the problem of urban waste treatment with increasing volume, composition, diversity. The management of municipal solid waste in the past few years is no longer merely the management of domestic solid waste but also includes the management of industrial solid waste, hazardous waste and medical construction.

The methods of solid waste treatment in our country in general and of Ho Chi Minh City in particular are now mainly buried, exposed many restrictions, waste of land resources, “waste” resources, influence to ground water, soil and air …

Mr. Tran Vinh Tuyen emphasized that from the current reality, Ho Chi Minh City wants to have smart waste treatment plants to effectively treat waste in the area: waste treatment, It creates energy, safe for the environment, beautifully designed as cultural art works. To do this, the City will hold public tenders to ensure opportunities for all domestic and foreign enterprises to select suitable solid waste treatment projects for the City in the coming time. Mr. Tran Vinh Tuyen also affirmed that the city will have policies to support and encourage investors to invest in this field so that investors can secure long-term investment and achieve the same results. good.

In order to attract investment in solid waste treatment with the technology of burning – generating electricity into the city, according to Comrade Nguyen Toan Thang, the city has some preferential policies for investors: preferential land, Electricity purchase / sale support policy, capital policy and tax policy.

Too much (levitra price) Learn More of smoking, alcohol intake, diabetes, etc. form some of the initial reasons for the loss in contractile cells.
In particular, for capital policies, investors invest in the collection, treatment, recycling and reuse of concentrated wastes (projects eligible for special investment incentives) in form of commune This will be supported by the city budget.

Regarding the land policy, if the project of gathering, treating, recycling and reusing waste is concentrated in Cu Chi and Binh Chanh districts but satisfy the prescribed scope, standards and standards, Choose one of the two schemes: either rent 11 years or land 70%. The city will use the land fund in the North West solid waste treatment complex, Cu Chi District for proper construction of the project; In addition, the city will support infrastructure (roads, electricity, water) to the fence of the investor’s project.

At the conference, participants were informed about advanced technologies in solid waste treatment into electricity that have been applied in the world and in Vietnam. Advanced technology in solid waste treatment.

At the conference, the method of solid waste treatment by burning technology is now being considered by interested countries, applied by clear effect. According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phung Chi Sy (Center for Environmental Technology, Vietnam Association for Nature and Environment Protection), there are three methods of landfill disposal: burial, composting and electricity generation. Comparison of the three modes, the harmless generation of electricity, the reduction in the number and environmental pollution (which can reduce 90-95% of volume and volume of waste), can take advantage of heat, reduce pollution water, odor compared with landfill, water pollution reduction, greenhouse gas emission reduction, so it becomes the top choice for countries with limited land and energy resources. In many countries around the world, municipal waste is basically treated by burning, the mainstream is moving from landfill to burning electricity. In Germany, for example, over 60% of solid waste is burned; In Denmark, solid waste is burned at nearly 100% (burning with energy recovery).

In Vietnam, waste incineration is also being considered due to the increasing volume of industrial solid waste, hazardous waste and domestic waste. Besides, existing waste disposal methods (burial) increasingly show the disadvantages are difficult to solve.

Associate Professor Phung Chi Sy said that burning electricity generation will become a new trend in Vietnam. Due to the high rate of industrialization and urbanization, the volume of waste is increasing, the solid waste on one side is putting enormous pressure on the environment and the socio-economic development. . On the other hand, solid waste is a renewable resource that brings huge economic benefits. However, due to the high cost of investment in solid waste technology, it is necessary for the technology of waste incineration to be put into practice. The government should issue a number of policies including: solid waste, electricity prices, preferential policies on land, preferential policies on fees, taxes … to attract socialization investment in the field of incineration of electricity.

Sharing at the conference, representatives of Tam Sinh Nghia Company said that every day Ho Chi Minh City has more than 8,000 tons of waste by 3 units in charge of processing. Particularly, Da Phuoc landfill (Binh Chanh district) is managed by Vietnam Waste Treatment Company, which treats about 5,500 tons of waste per day. The remainder is processed for compost in Phuoc Hiep, Cu Chi district by Vietstar Joint Stock Company and Tam Sinh Nghia Company. With a large amount of waste, complexity, representatives of Tam Sinh Nghia Company said that it is necessary to require a technology suitable for environmental conditions in Vietnam. On its side, the company also committed to the city leaders will urgently invest in a project to renovate waste treatment technology, recover energy from electricity generation, save resources Emissions, minimizing environmental pollution.

Speaking at the meeting, Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Dang Huy Dong highly appreciated Ho Chi Minh’s work in publicity and transparency in this field. Comrade Dang Huy Dong said that after bidding, investors should confidently test their technology in 3-6 months for functional agencies to test the indicators. After ensuring the technical parameters, capacity according to the proposed contract, then the new contract signed long. If the result is not satisfactory, not in the proposed contract, it must still be used to create opportunities for other units. Avoid the status of enterprises to sign a long-term waste treatment contract, then just hold on to that, do not innovate technology. On the other hand, in the criteria also need to clarify the efficiency of processing from garbage to electricity.

According to Comrade Nguyen Thien Nhan, from his practice, the scientists point out that there is enough technology in the field to handle the waste. At the same time, thereby proving that there are areas where the State does not need investment, but can apply the method of socialization of investment, the state only pay by service fees.Thanks to the unique mechanism passed by the National Assembly, Ho Chi Minh City will create more conditions for investors to select the most suitable investors to meet the aspirations of the people and the Party leadership. , Government.

At the meeting, Chairman of the People’s Committee Nguyen Thanh Phong said that many solutions are being applied in the treatment of waste in the world. In some countries they do a good job of sorting garbage, dry garbage, and in Vietnam garbage has high humidity, more limited in classification at source, so to find technology is also more difficult. Given the high economic growth rate and population in the city (in fact, 13 million people), the amount of waste in the coming time is even higher and the waste treatment is a matter of special municipal government. care. The city is grateful and willing to welcome and support the investment enthusiasts in this field on the basis of conditions of the City.
