Vietnam's renewable energy sector is experiencing significant growth, attracting the attention of Japanese companies like Mitsubishi Power Asia Pacific. Akihiro Ondo, the company's Managing Director and CEO, commended Vietnam's decision to use liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a transitional fuel for its energy transformation. He emphasized the importance of strengthening the country's power grid interconnections and fostering closer collaboration within multinational alliances such as the Asia Zero Emissions Community (AZEC) to fully harness the potential of Vietnam's expanding energy market. With Vietnam's stable economic development, Ondo sees favorable conditions for the advancement of renewable energies like solar and offshore wind power, despite challenges related to grid stability resulting from the intermittent nature of renewables. Mitsubishi's gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) technology stands out for its significant efficiency improvements and carbon emissions reduction compared to coal-fired plants. Ondo highlighted the potential of Mitsubishi's gas-hydrogen co-firing technology, aiming to achieve a 100% hydrogen ratio by 2030. Additionally, Mitsubishi is working on technology to co-fire coal with ammonia or biomass to reduce carbon intensity. Vietnam's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 necessitates enhanced grid infrastructure and international cooperation, aligning with Ondo's calls for substantial investments and government support. The collaboration with Japan through the Asia Zero Emissions Community (AZEC) underscores the importance of global partnerships in driving the energy transition.
