A biogas-fueled power plant with the word’s most modern technology was put into operation at the Phuoc Long Pig Breeding Farm (PLPBF) in Ho Chi Minh City yesterday.

As part of the East Asia Climate Partnership Programme funded by the Korea Energy Management Corporation (KEMCO), the plant was built at an estimated cost of VND 21.5 billion (US$ 1.1 million), including VND 16 billion provided by the RoK businesses.

The plant, constructed by the RoK-based HANATECH Company, includes four generators with a combined capacity of 80 kWh, generating about 640,000 kW of electricity per year, meeting 70% of the farm’s power demand.

The PLPBF is large pig breeding farm in Ho Chi Minh City with more than 15,000 pigs.(VNA)
