What do you see as the country’s potential to develop biomass energy?I should say renewable energy is a current trend of development internationally, given the threat of of climate change. Vietnam is no exception.With favourable natural conditions, Vietnam has great potential for the development of clean energy, such as solar energy, wind power and bio mass.Vietnam has more than 3,000 km of coastline running from the North to the South. Vietnam is next to the equator, so it has a large volume of radiation from the sun – a very important factor for enterprises which are interested in producing solar energy.These are the two opportunities for the country to develop its renewable energy from the wind and the sun.Two years ago, Thành Thành Công Group and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) jointly conducted research on Việt Nam’s clean energy potential. We then agreed to enter into cooperation in clean energy production. Do you think … [Read more...] about Vietnam has big potential for biomass energy development
