Hanoi (VNA) - An upcoming forum on realising the goals of LNG (liquefied natural gas) electricity development as outlined in the national power development plan for 2021 – 2030 is slated for December 7 in the capital city.
Currently, there are 13 LNG power projects approved by the Prime Minister as part of the priority investment list. By 2030, it is anticipated that 22,400 MW of LNG electricity will be generated.
The development of LNG electricity aims to enhance efficiency in power generation, reduce dependence on coal-fired power, cut emissions, protect the environment, and contribute to the country's sustainable development goals. However, investment in LNG power projects in Vietnam is facing challenges related to the market, funding, supply fluctuations, purchase contracts, as well as mechanisms and policies.
As per the plan, the government aims to achieve a total capacity of 150,000 - 160,000 MW by 2030, doubling the current installed capacity. In the 2020-2030 period, the share of coal-fired electricity in the power structure is expected to decrease from nearly 29% to 20.5%, and that of natural gas-fueled electricity to increase from 10.2% to 21.8%.
Leveraging the advantages of LNG such as high readiness, large capacity, wide adjustability range, quick response time, and lower CO2 greenhouse gas emissions compared to coal and oil power plants, accelerating the implementation of LNG projects aligns with Vietnam’s commitments at the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow (COP26) regarding the trend towards low-emission fuel use./.
The Thi Vai liquefied natural gas (LNG) warehouse and terminal complex, the first of its kind in Vietnam, of the Petrovietnam Gas Joint Stock Corporation (PV GAS), has passed a series of technical tests and is now ready to be put into commercial operation.
Vietnam is on the cusp of becoming a major player in the global liquefied natural gas (LNG) market, according to an article posted on the US website nasdaq.com on October 3.
