(Asia News Network) Dung Quat Bio-Ethanol Plant, located in the Dung Quat Industrial Zone in the central province of Quang Ngai, turned out its first batch of bio-ethanol E100 last week after 33 months of construction and trial operations.
The VND2 trillion (US$95.2 million) plant has a yearly designed capacity of 100 million litres of ethanol.
Ho Sy Long, the plant's director, said 10 per cent of the product would be used to produce Ethanol Fuel E5 while the remainder would be exported to Asean members, especially to the Philippines.
Long added that under its commitment, the plant would contribute to rural economic growth by consuming 17,000 hectares of cassava as soon as it came into stable operation. READ MORE
