Efforts to improve energy efficiency in industrial zones
(VEN) - Most industrial clusters and zones in Vietnam are focusing on energy efficiency solutions in a drive towards sustainable development. Urgent need Do Huu Hao, chairman of the Vietnam Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency Association, said energy plays an important role in Vietnam’s socioeconomic development, especially for industrial production in general and industrial clusters and zones in particular. He spoke at an April 11 workshop in Hanoi, organized jointly by the Vietnam Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency Association, Department of Industry and Trade (MOIT) and Korea Integrated Heat and Power Corporation. The workshop on improving energy efficiency in industrial zones was intended to discuss optimal solutions for industrial energy supply. According to the Ministry of Planning and Investment, by 2017, the country had 325 large industrial zones and thousands of small- and medium-sized ones. Of these, 220 large industrial zones have been put into operation … [Read more...] about Efforts to improve energy efficiency in industrial zones
Vietnam, World Bank launch energy efficiency project
(VEN) - The World Bank and Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade jointly launched the Vietnam Energy Efficiency for Industrial Enterprises (VEEIE) project on March 5 to support energy-efficient technologies and practices. Consumption intensity According to the Department of Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Development under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the national target program on energy efficiency and utilization in the 2011-2015 period cut energy consumption by 5.96 percent, equal to savings of over 11.8 million tonnes of oil. The energy consumption intensity of production industries that used to consume significant energy also dropped in the 2011-2015 period, such as steel (down 8.09 percent), cement (down 6.33 percent) and yarn (down 7.32 percent). In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has certified more than 10,000 products for the energy efficiency label. Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Hoang Quoc Vuong highlighted the efforts of the Vietnamese … [Read more...] about Vietnam, World Bank launch energy efficiency project
