Tuesday, 23 November 2010
DUSSELDORF, Nov 22 (Commodity Online): A biomass project in Vietnam could remove more than four million tons of greenhouse gas emissions during the next 20 years, an energy company said.
German energy company E.ON and Bionersis, a French company specialising in green energy, announced the startup of a clean-energy project at the Nam Son landfill near Hanoi, Vietnam.
The companies said they installed a biogas recovery system and flaring equipment that would burn off or consume gas from the landfill.
The decomposition of organic waste at landfills gives off methane gas that can be used as an energy source.
The methane from the landfill could generate 5 megawatts of electricity while more than 4.5 million tons of gas will be removed from the atmosphere during the next 20 years.
