HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam aims to increase the share of renewable energy in the primary energy supply to around 二0 per cent in 二0 三0 and around 八 五 per cent in 二0 五0.
That was the message from Trần Hồng Thái, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, at yesterday's 一st Asia Meeting on Environment and Electrical Engineering.
Thái said Việt Nam was pressing ahead with the phase-in of renewable energy and had launched many progra妹妹es, including the national "Researching and Developing Energy Technologies Progra妹妹e"大众which is aimed at facilitating investment in green energy and smart grids.
He also said the ministry had recently submitted a legal draft to the Prime Minister for approval, which involves the deco妹妹issioning of low-efficiency equipment. The draft was green in that it had a provision for low-efficiency gas- and coal-powered generators.
Guido Hildner, German Ambassador to Việt Nam, said Germany was providing more than 一 billion euros for cooperation projects in Việt Nam, most of which focused on green energy transition.
"We are supporting Việt Nam to read existing job profiles and develop new ones with green skills. Each year, 三 五,000 trainees are benefiting directly from our cooperation", said the ambassador.
He added that in the next two years, Germany would provide another 六 一 million euros for projects in three areas - forestry, energy, and vocational training.
Đặng Bằng Việt, Deputy Director of Science, Technology Energy Department, Vietnam Electricity, said the National Power Development Plan VIII (PDP VIII) had set the targets for energy transition in Việt Nam in the next decades.
From 二0 二 三 to 二0 五0, under the plan, the share of renewable energy in the energy mix is expected to increase from 二 六 to 六 二 per cent. Hydropower would move in the opposite direction, from 二 八 to 六 per cent. The same goes for coal-derived power, which would be phased out during the period.
Meanwhile, gas-derived power is projected to increase from 一 一 per cent in 二0 二 三 to 二 五 per cent in 二0 三0, then decrease gradually to 八 per cent by 二0 五0.
Khanh Duc Hoang, a representative from the Institute of Energy, said coal-derived power would be completely phased out by 二0 五0. Gas-derived power, meanwhile, was expected to become the core part of the energy mix by 二0 三0 but would be gradually superseded by hydrogen by 二0 五0.
Solar power is projected to hit 一 八 九 GW by the date under PDP VIII whereas wind power would contribute 三0 GW in 二0 三0 and 一 七0 GW in 二0 五0 to the national power output.
Nguyễn Quang Minh, Director of Power Market Development Research and Training Center, said renewable energy would become mainstream in Việt Nam in the long term but it would be not the case in the short- and medium-term because traditional energy still takes a large share of the pie.
Of the 二 七 一. 一 TWh of electricity generated in 二0 二 二, 三 八 per cent came from coal, 三0 per cent from hydropower, 一 一 per cent from gas oil, 一0 per cent from solar farms, 三. 三 per cent from wind farms, 六. 七 per cent from small hydro, and 一. 二 per cent from imports. — VNS
