The total investment capital of the plant and some ancillary works is over VND1 trillion, of which the investors contribute more than VND213 billion ($8.5 million) while the remaining VND853 billion ($34.3 million) comes in the form of loans taken out from credit institutions.


Construction works are projected to start between the second and third quarters of 2023.


The project is expected to come on stream in the first quarter of 2025, with an operation term of 49 years.


Biomass energy is energy generated or produced by living or once-living organisms, according to National Geographic.


The most common biomass materials used for energy are plants, such as corn and soy.


The energy from these organisms can be burned to create heat or converted into electricity.
