The signing aims to facilitate the dissemination of energy-related technologies, thus contributing to solving energy problems in Tien Giang Province as well as in Vietnam in general.

Tien Giang Province introduced Tuan Hien Aquaculture Company, based in Tan Phu Dong District, as a partner of Japan’s Yuko-Keiso Company in implementing the project.

NEDO Executive Director Takashi Wada said that the project will use sewage sludge from the process of shrimp farming as well as other agricultural wastes to generate biogas and create solid oxide fuel cells, contributing to reducing the amount of carbon released into the environment.

The project on implementing an energy-saving shrimp farming system using biomass is the first scientific and technical cooperation project with a foreign country in Tien Giang Province in the field of aquaculture.
