HCM CITY — Stakeholders in the energy sector discussed the national energy transition road map under the recently approved National Power Development Plan 8 (PDP 8) at a seminar in HCM City on September 13. “Energy Transition: Norway - Việt Nam Business Partnership” also served as a platform for Norwegian energy companies to showcase their expertise and competitive advantages, including technologies in various areas like offshore wind power generation, clean hydrogen, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and liquefied natural gas (LNG). The seminar was attended by more than 70 delegates from local and global energy companies and key stakeholders in the energy sector in southern Việt Nam. PDP8, or the National Electricity Development Plan for 2021 – 2030, and the National Energy Master Plan for 2021-2030 are ambitious plans that set out a road map for energy infrastructure development and aim to mobilise international support for Việt Nam to achieve its net-zero-emissions goal by 2050.
