On the afternoon of July 30, at the headquarters of the Vietnam Institute for Digital Economy Development in Hanoi, Ms. Stefanie Peters, Member of the German National Hydrogen Council and Chairwoman and CEO of Neuman&Esser Group (Germany), signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Vietnam Institute for Digital Economy Development on developing the hydrogen industry in Vietnam. The partnership lays the foundation for researching mechanisms, policies, laws, and markets to invest in manufacturing plants, supply needs, and the transfer of hydrogen technology to partners in Vietnam.
At the event, Dr. Nguyen Duc Kien, Chairman of the Scientific Council at the Vietnam Institute for Digital Economy Development and former Head of the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Group, presented the current situation and prospects of Vietnam's macro-economy. He also discussed the national power development plan for 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, approved in 2023, which includes the hydrogen energy ecosystem. This plan aims to ensure energy security, achieve national climate change goals, promote green growth, and reach net-zero emissions by 2050, in line with Vietnam's roadmap and commitments for sustainable energy transition.
