Hanoi on Wednesday began construction on a VND4 trillion ($175.1 million) waste-to-energy plant in Son Tay Town.

The Seraphin waste-to-energy plant at the Xuan Son solid waste treatment facility, to be funded by multiple sources, will have a treatment capacity of 1,500-2,000 tons each day and have an electricity production capacity at 37 MW. Construction is expected to be completed in 20 months.

To Van Nhat, founder of Amaccao Corporation, the project's main investor, said the plant would utilize European tech to burn trash and use the heat for electricity production, while meeting the EU 2010/75/EC emission standards.
