Southern Vietnam. Boiler-Turbine-Gas (BTG) is also among the most mature technology, commonly using organic industrial waste. Similar to the Indonesian situation,
commercialization is also among the weakest parameter among projects in Viet Nam
(Fig. 36.6).
Myanmar
The project using BTG technology in Myanmar is among the most mature one,
commonly using rice husk as feedstock. While carbonization technologies (including
pyrolysis and torrefaction) are quite immature and rare in other countries, in Myanmar
the readiness level is on-par with a gasification project there (Fig. 36.7). These
