Viet Nam and Canada’s elevation of bilateral ties to a Strategic Partnership has opened new avenues for cooperation in energy, spanning liquefied natural gas (LNG), clean energy, hydrogen, nuclear power and equipment supply chains.

Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power are accounting for a growing share of the power mix. Although this is an indispensable path towards greening the economy, these sources depend heavily on weather conditions and are therefore inherently volatile.

A Vietnamese delegation has held a working session with senior US officials on the sidelines of the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston to explore opportunities for US energy investments in Viet Nam and discuss trade and investment policy issues, the Ministry of Industry and Trade said.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on March 23 (local time) held a working session with Russia’s Novatek Group in Moscow as part of his official visit to Russia, seeking to accelerate cooperation on liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects and energy development.

A forum connecting Vietnamese gas enterprises with the international energy supply chain was held in Ha Noi on January 14, bringing together speakers, scientists, and relevant businesses.
