Toshiba to help cut greenhouse gas emissions in Vietnam

The Toshiba Corporation Monday announced the establishment of a new company to carry out a clean development mechanism (CDM) project designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Vietnam.

Toshiba Clean Development Service (Vietnam) Co., Ltd. (TCDS), a joint venture between Toshiba Corporation (with 51 percent stake) and NGUYEN VU Co., Ltd. (49 percent), will use Toshiba’s high concentration organic wastewater treatment technology to recover biogas.

It will then make the recovered gas available to the factories to use as fuel.

The CDM is an arrangement under the Kyoto Protocol allowing industrialized countries with a greenhouse gas reduction commitment to invest in projects that reduce emissions in developing countries.

In 2009, TCDS will construct a plant able to recover greenhouse gases equivalent to emissions of approximately 70,000 tons of CO2.
