The HCMC authorities have called for investment in waste-to-electricity projects 

HCMC produces 8,500 tons of domestic waste every day which is treated by Vietstar, Tam Sinh Nghia Investment & Development JSC, Vietnam Waste Solutions and Citenco.

The municipal authorities have called on investors to invest in waste-to-energy plants which generate electricity and protect the environment.

HCMC produces 8,500 tons of domestic waste every day which is treated by Vietstar, Tam Sinh Nghia Investment & Development JSC, Vietnam Waste Solutions and Citenco.

According to Thoi bao Kinh Te Sai Gon , 34 investors, Vietnamese and foreign, have shown their willingness to develop projects to improve dumping grounds and treat waste with waste-to-energy technology.

These include foreign investors that use modern technologies such as Trisun Green Energy Corporation and Hitachi Zosen from Japan, Keppel – Tien Phuoc joint operation (Singapore), Naavovo Energy INC (Canada) and Sudokwon SLC (South Korea) Tiếp tục đọc “More than 30 investors to pour money into electricity-from-waste plants”

Powering Up: Mekong Basin Connect

Powering Up: Mekong Basin Connect

Countries in the Mekong Basin need a strategic, basin-wide approach to efficiently develop the basin’s water and energy resources in ways that protect the natural productivity of the river system. Otherwise, poorly coordinated hydropower planning on the Mekong mainstream and its tributaries will lead this resource rich region into a water and food security crisis.

In 2017, Stimson’s Energy, Water, and Sustainability program launched the Mekong Basin Connect Initiative, led by the Stimson Center, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), UC Berkeley’s Energy Resources Group, and The Nature Conservancy, to identify and promote new and pathways to achieve this ambitious goal. Click on the image below to learn more about Mekong Basin Connect.

Nam went to India to learn solar engineering skills and helped bring light to dozens of households in her village.

Nam was chosen with other four ethnic women in the northern province of Thanh Hoa to attend a six-month training course at Barefoot College in India in 2015 under a project that focuses on creating opportunities for poor women to learn about solar energy.

Upon hearing the news, Nam said, she felt joyful, but nervous. “I was scared. I didn’t know anything about electricity. Never before had I seen a bulb or electricity wire,” she said. Tiếp tục đọc “Muong woman brings light to her village”

Newsweekoo! News

The world’s biggest fusion reactor is now 50 percent complete, with experts now estimating it will be ready for its first stage of operation in December 2025, with the first power plants up and running by 2040.

Fusion energy—the same process that powers the sun—potentially offers near limitless clean energy. If scientists can find a way to harness this source, it could provide enough electricity for millions of years.
