Speaking at a seminar on Taiwan Green andPhotovoltaic Industry in HCM City on April 21, Nguyen The Hung, deputy directorof the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s HCM City branch, said demandfor developing green and renewable energy has increased globally, including in Vietnam.
Vietnam has great potential for renewable energydevelopment, he said, adding that the Government has put in place policies toencourage investment in this clean energy.
Yu Lung Shih, Manager of Taiwan Trade Centre’srepresentative office in HCM City, said: "Vietnam is currently in acampaign to achieve energy self-sufficiency by 2050." By 2050, it aims toproduce at least 35 percent solar power and 13 percent wind – while cuttingcarbon emissions by 80 percent.
That beckons huge prospects for green energyproducers, he said.
“Top power-maker Taiwan has already developed alot in both solar power, wind power and other renewable energy. Taiwan’sstrengths can now be used to assist Vietnam to keep on schedule,” he said.
Cheng-Nan Chu, manager of Industrial TechnologyResearch Institute, Taiwan, said the International Energy Agency forecaststhat renewable capacity will grow from 1,969 GW in 2015 to 2,795 GW in 2021.
IEA sees renewable energy growing 13 percentmore between 2015 and 2021 than they did in its forecast for 2014-20 conductedin 2015, due mostly to stronger policy backing in the US, China, India andMexico, he said.
According to Yi-Kuang Chen, general managerof Kenmec Vietnam, Taiwan has been in solar industry for many years and so hasmany solutions to support different industries.
Sharing his experience in developing the solarenergy industry, he said the most important thing is human resourcedevelopment.
“I recommend Vietnam invest more in the solarindustry’s human resources.”
Hung said professional renewable energy tradeshows in Taiwan, including the Taiwan International Green Industry Show (TiGiS)and Taiwan International Photovoltaic Exhibition (PV Taiwan), would helpVietnamese firms keep up to date the green and renewable energy developmenttrends in the world in general and in Taiwan in particular, as well as enhanceco-operation opportunities with Taiwanese firms in the sector.
Carol Chang, projectmanager, Taiwan External Trade Development Council, said the exhibitions willbe held at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Centre from October 18-20.
The exhibitions will feature 300 exhibitorsin 800 booths. Products on display include the latest solar PV systems,equipment and applications, as well as green energy, technology and environmentalprotection themes.
The events are expected to attract 11,000visitors, including 1,200 from overseas, compared to the 10,362 visitors atlast year’s show, she said.-VNA
