The Electricity of Vietnam（EVN）and the Japanese JERA Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding（MOU）on cooperation towards decarbonization with ammonia and hydrogen co-burning technology.
To realize carbon-neutral roadmap by 2050, Vietnam will not develop coal power plants after 2030. However, the increased power consumption makes this Vietnam's biggest power company harder to fulfill its goal.
Tran Dinh Nhan, EVN's General Director, said that the company is looking for solutions to improve efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions for existing coal power plants. And at the same time, EVN needs to convert to using biomass fuels by co-burning the ammonia and hydrogen, consider the applicability of carbon capture and storage in Vietnam.
