Mrs. Hoang Mai Van Anh - United Nations Industrial Development Organization deliverd the opening of workshop.
Attending the workshop, there were more than 30 participants, including policy makers, domestic and foreign donors from enterprises, universities, Can Tho Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, An Giang Provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment, An Giang Fund of Natural Resources and Environment.
The workshop provided an overview of the activities in the project, including: Decision-making tools for milling plants to select the most efficient way to handle rice husks; 02 innovative business models and potential for bio-coal and amorphous silica ash; Rice husk business models, financial access options and continuous plans.
At the workshop, participants discussed and provided optimum options for some milling enterprises. The aim of the project is to explore different technologies to increase the value of rice husks to reduce waste and to assist in improving the economic efficiency of milling plants, while minimizing greenhouse gas emissions.
Rice production is becoming increasingly growing rice in Vietnam due to expansion of cultivation area and productivity. This situation requires a cost-effective solution for the use of rice by-products, including rice husk and opens the large potential for companies to produce energy from excess rice husks.
The project is approved based on the requirements of the designated national entity (NDE) of the Department of Meteorology, Hydrology and Climate Change under Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. |
