The Power Engineering Consulting JSC 2 (PECC2) and Japan’s Nihon Toyo agreed on July 31 to cooperate in the trial production of biomass pellets.
Accordingly, Nihon Toyo, a subsidiary of Japanese giant Toyo Group, and PECC, part of Electricity of Vietnam (EVN), will cooperate in establishing a production line deploying a high-temperature, high-humidity hydrolysis machine to make solid fuel from waste.
Mr. Tran Dinh Nhan, CEO of EVN, welcomed the partnership and urged the Japanese firm to further research coal-fired power generation in line with Vietnam’s newly-approved Power Development Plan VIII (PDP 8).
Mr. Koshio Katsuhiko, Chairman of Nihon Toyo, said they have great expectations for the partnership to tap the power generation market with a combination of biomass pellets and coal as fuel.
He also proposed cooperation in other fields, including technical services for power plant operations and the supply of fuel like coal, oil, and LNG to power plants in Vietnam.
