Objective
The project, which is under the framework of the Global Eco-Industrial Park Programme (GEIPP), aims to promote the commercialization of pyrolysis technology for better waste valorization in Vietnam. Pyrolysis technology which was successfully transferred to Vietnam from Switzerland by the previous UNIDO project has the potential to convert agricultural wastes (such as rice husks, coffee husks) into thermal energy and biochar. This is identified as a promising solution to improve the quality of agricultural products and improve soil fertility while minimizing CO2 emissions.
Activities
- Awareness raising and “green technology” recognition of pyrolysis technology;
- Development of feasibility studies and business cases; and
- Promotion of the biochar market.
