StratCap International has entered into a partnership to bring the first class High Efficient Waste To Energy technology presently operational in the largest European single site facility in Amsterdam, to Vietnam.

A 2500 ton per day facility has been designed based on the technology now operational for more than 10 years in Amsterdam and adapted to the waste characteristics of North of Vietnam. The Partnership has been working closely together with the German design Engineers from Wandschneider & Gutjahr, who also designed the Amsterdam facility to develop the High Efficiency (HE) waste-to-energy plant in Vietnam. Amsterdam Facility Operation both the High Efficiency Waste to Energy and Conventional technology.

A Singapore holding company will invest in a 100% foreign investment project entity in the North of Vietnam and will become the first or a range of projects bringing the HE technology to Vietnam in the upcoming time.

CO2 is one of the main sources for greenhouse-gasses in the world. The HE WtE technology, which has a negative carbon footprint, provides a feasible and cost efficient alternative for landfilling. Implementation of the technology will be a mayor step forward for Vietnam in complying with the Paris Agreement climate goals, setting the example for many countries around the world. StratCap/AWECT-Amsterdam will develop the design and bring “best practice” operational expertise to the plant which will generate some 80 MW electricity by incinerating 2,500 tonnes of waste per day.

The project will establish 150 high level green jobs, directly on site and indirectly for suppliers.Generating electricity from waste has become a trend in the world in general however few are producing over 25% efficiency and able to stay well within the strict European Environmental emission boundaries. The Amsterdam facility is operational within 6 km of the bustling city centre and less than 1 km from residential area, without negative impact and this is also the norm applied to the Vietnam operations.Possible design for the North of Vietnam.

StratCap/AWECT-Amsterdam have taken the high ground to stick to delivery of European Standards, to not make environmental impacting cost-savings and to apply the HE technology. This does drive the investment cost up and has also a (minor) impact on getting construction and installation time; but is worth the effort.

Vietnam waste volume discharged in the environment reaches 70,000 tonnes per day, including 35,000 tonnes from urban areas and 34,000 tonnes from rural areas. Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi each burry approximately 10,000 tonnes of waste per day, which is a precious resource for generating electricity.

2,500 ton per day will address over 900,000 ton per year avoiding going to landfill, producing ~80 MW electricity and adhere to European Emission Standards enable the facility to operate safely nearby urban area’s.

The StratCap/AWECT-Amsterdam Project requires some 15 ha land and an investment will be made by the consortium of some US$ 200 Million. It will provide high level green jobs for 150 people. The Amsterdam Waste Environmental Consultancy & Technology company (AWECT) provides services for Waste-to-Energy (WtE) projects and consults governments on strategies for waste management in a circular society.

Waste-to-Energy is complementary to recycling in a circular economy and is never in competition with it, because WtE provides a sound “sink” solution for residual waste streams which cannot be recycled or reused.

AWECT-Amsterdam, recently signed a MOU with an Environmental Protection Group for bringing the high efficiency technology to China and is presently having discussions for new partnerships in South America, Australia and India to name a few.
