HANOI, Vietnam /PRNewswire/ --
Most developing countries have abundant renewable energy resources, including solar energy, wind power, geothermal energy and biomass as well as the ability to manufacture the relatively labor-intensive systems that harness these. Collectively, developing countries have more than half of global renewable power capacity. Many renewable markets are growing at rapid rates including Vietnam.
As Vietnam is maintaining its current rate of rapid growth, the country is now facing the rising demand for power and energy in the upcoming years. The search of reliable sources for energy efficiency, renewable energy, water management and waste management has become a priority for the country.
The Government of Vietnam has recognised the important role of green technologies in supplying sustainable energy and recently in tackling the climate change. This includes Vietnam's strategies and master plan with regards to the expansion of renewable energies. Vietnam is well endowed with renewable energy resources which distributed through-out the country. These resources can be exploited to meet Vietnam's rapidly increasing energy demand as well as environmental protection. Despite the high potential, RE electricity production in Vietnam is still negligible.
The expected growth in energy consumption specifically in Asia, which to a large extent can be satisfied using renewable energies, offers promising business opportunities for foreign investment. Hence, a webinar with the topic"Green Technologies Opportunities In Vietnam" will be held on the 30th June at 3.30pm Vietnam time. Organised by the EU-Vietnam Business Network, supported by UBM, this webinar is part of the Green Technologies Trade Mission to Vietnam in November 2015. The webinar is to promote sustainability related energy efficiency and also a prelude to the first edition of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Vietnam 2015 Expo.The event is scheduled to take place at VEFAC Hanoi, Vietnam from 25 - 27 November 2015.
