VietNamNet Bridge – Sugar mill owners remain cautious about plans to generate electricity from bagasse, while experts say the low price of electricity produced from bagasse makes investors hesitate to invest in the field.

The industry is less competitive than other regional countries with higher production costs.

Post-sugar and by-sugar production to create higher added value is a must for sugar mills. Generating electricity from bagasse is a solution. Tiếp tục đọc “Low price of electricity generated by bagasse discourages investors” →
