Zig Resiak, of AGRESTI, addressing workshop
participants on March 28, 2009 |
The Seminar was sponsored by the Ministry of
Construction, Vietnam Urban Environment and
Industrial Zone Association, the Tam Sinh Nghia
Investment Development Joint Stock Company, the
Environmentally Sustainable Development in Poor
Urban Areas (SDU), and the Vietnam Water Supply
Sewerage and Environmental Construction Investment
Corporation (VIWASEEN). Vietnam is a rapidly
developing country facing difficult environmental
challenges. It has a vibrant economy, and is
experiencing a dramatic increase in population.
Environmental degradation due to urbanization,
industrialization, and the use of agrochemicals has
become a serious problem in Vietnam.
AGRESTI, is an Indiana-based company that provides
innovative solutions, using new technology to reduce
dependency on foreign fuel and landfills. Earlier
this year, Agresti announced that it had signed a
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Viet Nam’s Phuc
Yen Company and local business partner Mr. Ngo Xuan
Tiec to create a joint business entity named
AGRESTI, Viet Nam (AVN) for the purpose of
marketing, building, and operating municipal
waste-to-ethanol facilities in Viet Nam.
AVN will employ the patented GeneSyst Gravity
Pressure Vessel (GPV) technology invented by James
Titmas to produce ethanol and other saleable
products in Viet Nam. The MOA was reached December
2008. The MOA underscores the urgent international
need for alternative clean energy and represents
AGRESTI’s commitment to providing global solutions.
