 The VTT Research Centre of Finland is venturing into biodiesel production from fish processing wastewater, in cooperation with some SME’s (small and medium scale enterprises) in Vietnam. The three-year “Enerfish” project is mainly funded by the EU (European Union) while the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland will finance the construction of the demonstration equipment in Vietnam. In addition to biodiesel production, the project team is also developing an energy saving cooling system for fish processing operations. The partners are planning to construct a biodiesel plant near a Vietnamese fish processing plant..
