For example, at KCP Vietnam Industrial Company Limited (Son Hoa commune), thousands of tons of sugarcane bagasse after pressing, instead of being disposed of into the environment, have been converted into biomass electricity thanks to applying heat-power cogeneration technology. Mr. K.V.S.R. Subbaiah, the General Director of the company, said enterprise officially started operating the KCP biomass power plant in 2015, reaching 75 MW by the 2025-2026 sugarcane season, producing more than 70 million kWh of electricity annually.

“Regarding the crushed sugarcane bagasse, the company is applying bio-fertiliser production processes to create organic fertilizer and support farmers who have signed contracts with the company. The application of advanced technology not only helps the company increase revenue from by-products of the production process as well as support sugarcane farmers, but also contributes to environmental protection across the raw material area,” Mr. K.V.S.R. Subbaiah added.

Concurrently, at Phan Lua Production and Trading Company Limited (Tuy Hoa ward), to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from old incinerators alongside save land resources, the company has introduced 4.0 vibrating machine technology into brick and tile production.
