The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Tien Giang Province signed a letter of intent with the Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation (NEDO) on November 3 to carry out a project on implementing an energy-saving shrimp farming system using biomass in Tien Giang Province.
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.
Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Tien Giang Province Nguyen Van Man said that the department has worked with YuKo-Keiso Company since 2019 to introduce technologies using waste from shrimp ponds and agricultural by-products to generate electricity for the management of shrimp ponds.
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.
