The development of hydrogen energy is a crucial strategy in the context of global energy transition, especially when many countries are aiming for net-zero emissions. Vietnam is no exception, with specific goals and a clear roadmap to develop hydrogen energy by 2030 and with a vision to 2050.
Decision No. 165/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister approved the strategy for the development of hydrogen energy in Vietnam. Accordingly, by 2030, the production capacity of hydrogen from renewable energy and other processes with carbon capture will reach about 100 – 500 thousand tons/year, increasing to 10 – 20 million tons by 2050. The goal is to contribute to the national commitment to net-zero emissions.
Development Perspective
The development of hydrogen energy must be based on ensuring continuity and consistency with national energy development strategies and plans, while being dynamic and open to adapt to the global energy transition context and situation.
Development along the Value Chain
Hydrogen energy will be developed along the value chain from production, storage, transportation, distribution to utilization, contributing to energy security and greenhouse gas emission reduction. This promotes the development of a green economy, a circular economy, and a hydrogen economy.
Reasonable Development Roadmap
The development of hydrogen energy will be linked to the energy transition roadmap in Vietnam, closely following global technological development trends, especially in the use of renewable energy to produce green hydrogen. Efficient, sustainable, and economical utilization of national resources will serve both domestic demand and export needs.
Encouragement of Usage across Economic Sectors
Hydrogen energy will be encouraged for use in all sectors of the economy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with appropriate preferential policies for high-emission sectors such as power generation, transportation, and industry.
International Cooperation
Vietnam will enhance international cooperation to share experiences and knowledge in developing the hydrogen energy ecosystem, effectively leveraging international community support.
General Objective
The aim is to develop a hydrogen energy ecosystem based on renewable energy, including production, storage, transportation, distribution, domestic use, and export with synchronized and modern infrastructure. This ensures energy security, meets national climate change targets, and promotes green growth.
