Hanoi (VNA) – The Vietnam Petroleum Institute (VPI) and the Smart GeophysicsSolutions JSC (SGS) on June 28 jointly in Hanoi an international scientific workshop on carbon capture,utilisation and storage (CCUS) experiment and modeling.

Asso. Prof Pham Huy Giao, Director of the SGS, saidthe application of the CCUS to achieve the goal of net zero emissions is still inits early stages, particularly in developing countries like Vietnam.

The workshop focused its discussions on varioustopics, including the demand, current status, potential, and solutions for CCUSprojects in Vietnam, CO2 storage models, and the application of numerical modelingand dynamic simulation to assess the reliability of CO2 and hydrogen storage inthe underground.

It also shared the latest technologies, challenges, and experiencein carrying out CCUS projects, reviewed the necessity and benefits of CCUSnetworks, explored the testing and modeling in CCUS process, and proposed jointstudies on CCUS with the participation of experts from Australia, Canada,Thailand and Vietnam.

VPIDeputy Director Dr. Nguyen Minh Quy said Vietnam has the potential to develop acomplete CCUS value chain, including CO2 capture, transportation, utilisationand storage. In 2011, Vietnam became the first country in Southeast Asia tosuccessfully implement a CO2-enhanced oil recovery project at the Rang Dongfield, Block 15-2, Cuu Long basin.

Witha commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, Vietnam recognises theimportance of CCUS in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as stated in the NationalStrategy for Climate Change till 2050, he said.

Specifically, the VPI predicted that 6% of the CO2 emissions willbe reduced by 2030 through the conversion of CO2 into other products such asurea, methanol, ethanol, among others.

Accordingto the VPI's report, around 39 gigatons of CO2 could be stored in sedimentarybasins in the northern and north-central coastal regions while nearly 10gigatons in the southeast and southwest and roughly 22 gigatons in Nam ConSon basin./.
