Hanoi (VNA) – A webinar discussing prospects of green hydrogen in low-carbon economyin Vietnam was hosted by the Vietnam Imitative for Energy Transition (VIET) onOctober 18.

Addressing the event, VIET Executive Director Ngo Thi To Nhien said Vietnam is striving to develop potential clean energy sources,including green hydrogen, in a bid to realise its net zero emission goal by 2050.

Greenhydrogen will contribute to diversifying energy sources, replacing rawmaterials and fossil fuels in industrial production and transportation.

Briefing participants onVietnam’s hydrogen industry, Dr. Tran Khanh Viet Dung, an expert from the VIET,said based on the emission reduction target of sectors, economic efficiency,technological readiness and corresponding infrastructure in Vietnam, the initiativedevelops three scenarios for hydrogen development.

Participants said forVietnam, green hydrogen should be prioritised for industrial production,transportation, energy, and export.

Dr. Nguyen Huu Luongfrom the Vietnam Petroleum Institute (VPI) said Vietnam needs to developpolicies, regulations and guidelines for green hydrogen development; policies toencourage production and use of green hydrogen. The country should implement pilot projects, develop infrastructure and supply chains as well as technical standards and guidelineson safety for hydrogen production, storage and transportation.  

Participants alsopointed out challenges facing the hydrogen industry in Vietnam, especiallythose related to policy, infrastructure, financial resources, human resourcesand technology.

They underlined theneed to have breakthrough policies and appropriate solutions to form a complete green hydrogen supplychain for the country./.
