(260603) -- HANOI, June 3, 2026 (Xinhua) -- An engineer introduces the mechanical grate furnace system at the Soc Son waste-to-energy plant in Hanoi, Vietnam, on May 21, 2026. The Soc Son waste-to-energy plant, invested in and operated by Chinese-invested firm Hanoi Thien Y Environmental Energy Joint Stock Company, commenced operation in 2022. It feeds electricity into Vietnam's national grid and currently processes approximately 5,000 tons of Hanoi's household waste every day.
Once delivered to the plant, massive amounts of municipal waste are lifted by large steel grapples for a seven-day fermentation process before being sent to incineration chambers. Intense heat generates steam that drives turbines to produce electricity.
Beyond waste-to-power conversion, the plant has also become a practical training base for Vietnamese environmental majors. (Xinhua/Liu Ying)
