Illustration photo One of the program’s main tasks is to build a Vietnamese energy data center, as well as databases and information technology applications on energy and energy efficiency. Specifically, the program will developenergy statistics and establish national and sectoral database systems on energy and economical and efficient use of energy, while building coordination and information sharing mechanisms between databases on energy & energy effciency and other databases. In addition, the program will develop and guide the use of softwares in managing and updating data on economic and efficient use of energy, ensuring that they are suitable to energy users and energy management agencies from the central to local levels. Another major task of the program is to strengthen capabilities in the economical and efficient use of energy, through training and building capacity for officials and focal agencies on economical and efficient use of energy in organizing the … [Read more...] about National program on economical and efficient use of energy approved

Energy labeling for LED lighting products boost energy efficiency
This workshop was part of the project “Local Development and Promotion of LED Technologies for Advanced General Lighting in Vietnam” (LED project), supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and UNDP. Energy labels This is the third in a series of workshops on implementation of the energy labeling program with an aim to introduce, guide and discuss energy labeling regulations to be readily prepared for compulsory labeling of LED lighting products as of 1 January 2020. Within the framework of the Energy labeling program for electrical equipment and appliances implemented by the MOIT since 2006, the LED Project has supported the MOIT to develop regulations and roadmap for labeling and certification of LED lighting products. To implement this program, the project continues to support the MOIT to develop a methodology to determine the appropriate energy efficiency levels and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plan for the implementation of the LED … [Read more...] about Energy labeling for LED lighting products boost energy efficiency
Energy efficiency standards great for economy, environment: workshop
Viet Nam News HCM City – The adoption of minimum energy performance standards will achieve a minimum saving of around VNĐ10 trillion (US$480 million) and a reduction of 34 million tonnes of CO2 emissions by 2030, a workshop heard in HCM City yesterday. Nguyễn Văn Thao, general director of the Việt Nam Academy of Science and Technology’s High Technology Development Center told the “Energy Labelling and Certification for LED lighting products” workshop: “The electricity saving will be about 6,000 GWh per year, equivalent to the electricity generated by two coal-fired power plants with a capacity of 500 MW.” This was the right time to implement the energy-labelling programme for LED lighting products, he said. United Nations Development Program (UNDP) expert My Ton emphasised the need to obtain sufficient market data to identify appropriate parameters and characteristics such as efficacy, lifetime and rendering index for LED … [Read more...] about Energy efficiency standards great for economy, environment: workshop
Waste energy – an opportinity wasted
And one would not be far from the truth; every year, Vietnam’s 27 million pigs generate emissions equivalent to around 4.3 million tons of CO2, with strong smells and negative effects on human health. Not only that, just like carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia and hydrogen sulfide are greenhouse gases that also contribute to air pollution and global warming. Though data on the total impact of emissions from breeding is still unavailable, research conducted at specific municipals has yielded dire results: household-scale breeders generate 18 times more ammonia than permitted, while large commercial breeders generate 21 times more. What many do not know, is that these pernicious emissions could be used to generate electricity. "Up to now, Vietnam has not had a comprehensive mechanism for supporting the development of renewable energy, aside from the subsidies for wind power and waste-generated electricity, approved in 2011 and 2014 respectively," Tran Van Khai, Vice Chairman of the … [Read more...] about Waste energy – an opportinity wasted
