At the workshop (Source: VNA)Themed “Challenges of Vietnam’s energy policy”, the event gathered Vietnamese and French experts workingin the energy sector and engineers and postgraduates studying and working inFrench research institutes and energy firms.
The event also aimed to learn from France’s experience in developingrenewable energy to reduce dependence on energy produced from fossil fuels thatcause carbon emissions.
As part of activities within the researchproject “Energy Planning for Vietnam’s sustainable development” (VENPLAN) performed by the AVSE and AEEE from June to Decemberthis year, the workshop helped France’s organisations understand moreabout Vietnam’s energy sector, towards establishing research cooperation withthe country.
It also gave recommendations for Vietnam's energy planning.
Inhis speech, Vietnamese Ambassador to France Nguyen Ngoc Son applauded the workshopand implementation of VENPLAN, saying that they help tap Vietnam’s intellectualresources in France, contributing to Vietnam’s energy development.
Le Tuan Phong, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Clean Energy Association briefedparticipants on Vietnam’s national energy development strategy.
The Vietnamese Government wants to develop all energy sources fromthermoelectricity, hydroelectricity, wind and solar energy, while strictlymanaging resources to ensure energy development and environmental protection.
Vietnamese experts stressed the need to invest more in renewable energy.
Meanwhile, French experts introduced low emission technologies and roadmaps to cutemissions.
Participants agreed Vietnam faces difficulties such as a shortage of capitaland negative impacts caused by climate change in energy development.
They noted that Vietnam should take advantage of natural resources to developthe energy sector and minimise the impact of the energy industry on theenvironment, towards developing an environmentally friendly energy sector.
According to Tran Duy Chau, a key member of the VENPLAN,the project seeks new ideas, while performing thematic studies on urgent issuesfor Vietnam’s energy development. -VNA
