HANOI: A study by Hanoi University of Science and Technology, in collaboration with the Agriculture and Environment Ministry, has found that the greenhouse gas emissions of Vietnam’s national power grid last year reached 0.681 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) for every megawatt-hour of electricity produced, a 3.2% increase from 2023.
Researchers attributed the rise to a 17.7% surge in coal-fired electricity output, which made up 49.5% of the national mix.
