Vietnam’s ambitious green hydrogen development strategy, approved by the Prime Minister, charts a course towards carbon neutrality by 2050. Let’s delve into the specifics of this strategy and evaluate its potential impact on the country’s energy landscape.
Vietnam’s green hydrogen strategy encompasses a comprehensive approach to renewable power, spanning production, storage, transportation, domestic consumption, and export. Positioned as a linchpin in achieving net-zero emissions, green hydrogen holds the promise of revolutionizing Vietnam’s energy sector.
PtX Outreach, facilitated by GIZ and funded by BMWK, has put forth recommendations to expedite the adoption of hydrogen-based synthetic material and fuel production technologies in Vietnam. These recommendations aim to catalyze the development of green hydrogen infrastructure and foster innovation in the energy sector.
Dr. Nguyen Huu Luong, a senior expert at the Vietnam Oil and Gas Institute, underscores the vast potential of green hydrogen in the oil and gas sector. From powering traditional LNG-fired plants to facilitating energy transition in various operations, green hydrogen emerges as a versatile solution with the potential to decarbonize key industries.
To harness the full potential of green hydrogen, Vietnam must prioritize research, development, and investment in related technologies. Encouraging the substitution of fossil fuels with green hydrogen and fostering a market for green products will be pivotal in driving adoption and scaling production.
