Petrovietnam President and CEO Le Manh Hung
Petrovietnam President and CEO Le Manh Hung and Mr. Changjie Gou exchanged views on the energy transition trend, especially shared experiences on the hydrogen value chain. The NZE scenario roadmap to 2030 is based on the following pillars: Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy and Electrification. After 2030, world energy will rely on bioenergy, hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels.
Vietnam’s national energy development strategy to 2030, with a vision to 2045 emphasizes the focus on developing renewable and new energy; targets to 2030 to reduce energy sector emissions by 5.5% and 16.7% (international support); especially Vietnam’s net zero emissions commitment by 2050 at COP26.
In addition, Vietnam’s mechanisms, policies and commitments on climate change mitigation, green and clean energy development, and sustainable development are increasingly approaching the general trend of the world. Therefore, the demand for fossil fuels and fossil fuel products (gasoline, oil, gas and coal) will decrease after 2030.
The Group has developed a strategy to 2030, vision to 2045, in which the trend of energy transition is inevitable. In such a context, the Group must focus more on renewable energy, in which, offshore wind power development is one of Petrovietnam’s main development focuses to take advantage of the long coastline and available facilities of Petrovietnam and its subsidiaries.
President and CEO Le Manh Hung highly appreciated the issues raised by MIT capable of solving Petrovietnam’s current challenges and predicted future needs according to the trend of energy transition and green energy programs.
