With the Phu Son waste-to-power plant, also the biggest waste processing unit in the province, Thua Thien-Hue aims to reduce the ratio of trash it buries to 20%, meeting the standards set by the Prime Minister.
Construction of the facility began in November 2021 and finished in August 2023, and trial operations started in the same month.
As of end 2023, Vietnam had 15 waste-to-power projects, including three completed and operational, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
