This bio-diesel is then being used to provide power for air generator system, freezing and heating of the plant.
This is part of a project set up by the Technology Research Centre of Finland's (VTT) Enerfish programme, funded by the European Commission, in order to make use of fish processing by-products, for the export and production of biodiesel.
According to VTT, fish processing by-products (mainly fatty fish) account for 10 per cent of recovered fish weight. If there is a raw material output of 1 million tons/year, the Mekong Delta would hsve over 100,000 tons of fish fat each year.
