Despite recognizing the potential of hydrogen energy and launching a national strategy, Vietnam faces challenges in the widespread adoption of hydrogen. The majority of domestic hydrogen demand is currently from fertilizer factories, Dung Quat and Nghi Son oil refineries, with limited use in other industries due to the absence of a developed storage and distribution system. Experts emphasize the need for clear investment guidelines, infrastructure development, and regulatory support to boost large-scale production and distribution. Financial viability remains a concern, with high production costs hindering the progress of hydrogen projects using renewable energy. The Hydrogen Energy Strategy to 2030, approved by the Prime Minister, sets ambitious goals to produce green hydrogen, aiming for up to 500,000 tons annually by 2030 and targeting 10 to 20 million tons per year by 2050. This aligns with Vietnam's broader goal of achieving net zero emissions. The strategy includes plans for blue and green hydrogen production from natural gas and renewables, catering to both domestic and export markets. Vietnam also plans to experiment with hydrogen and ammonia cofiring in power generation as part of its broader energy development plan. Several green hydrogen projects are already in progress in various regions, with involvement from both domestic and foreign investors. Notable areas for potential hydrogen production projects include Tra Vinh, Ben Tre, Bac Lieu, and others. Collaboration with international partners, particularly with China, the EU, and the U.S., is seen as vital to reduce production costs and enhance Vietnam's position in the global hydrogen market. The country's efforts in transitioning towards green hydrogen signify a positive step towards a sustainable and clean energy future.
