Netherlands offers 1.15 million euros for biogas project in Vietnam

Ha Noi (VNA) - The Dutch Government will provide a non-refundable official development aid worth 1.15 million euros for the building of 9,500 biogas facilities in Viet Nam in 2006. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) will join hands with the Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV) to carry out the project in line with their memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed in Ha Noi on April 27. The project will include the transfer of technology relating to construction and usage of biogas facilities. Under the MoU, the MARD will also work with SNV to devise a project to support the biogas programme for the animal husbandry sector in the 2007-2010 period, which sets a target of building as many as 150,000 biogas tanks in 58 cities and provinces. The Dutch Government earlier granted 2 million euros for the construction of 18,000 biogas facilities in 12 provinces in Viet Nam between March 2003 and December 2005.
