HANOI (Vietnam News/ANN): The successful conversion of coal power projects to liquefied natural gas (LNG) is necessary to ensure energy security and help Vietnam achieve its goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, said industry experts and insiders.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT), several coal-fired power projects are awaiting approval to transition into projects utilising LNG. Several provinces, including Thanh Hoa, Nghe An and Quang Tri, have voiced their opposition to additional coal-fired plants in favour of gas-fired plants.
