A project to build a local energy circulation system that combines highly efficient fuel cells and recycled biogas
PROJECT OBJECTIVE

Promotion of the use of a sustainable local energy circulation system using organic waste as an energy source, which contributes to the realization of a low-carbon society and improvement of the living standards of local people.

A high-efficiency fuel cell that operates on local bioenergy was developed, and an environmentally friendly energy circulation system that utilizes organic waste such as sludge from shrimp ponds as an energy source was demonstrated.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

There are concerns that the rapid economic development in recent years will force the country to shift from being a net energy exporter to an importer, and there is a need to ensure the availability of electricity and primary energy. While the economy is growing steadily, the negative aspects include the disparity between urban and rural areas and the spread of environmental pollution and destruction. This project developed a high-efficiency fuel cell that operates on unused bioenergy such as sludge from aquaculture ponds in the Mekong Delta, the main industry of the Fisheries industry (shrimp, catfish, etc.), and supported the construction of an energy circulation system based on local production for local consumption.
