Vietnam will implement the coal-to-clean energy transition plan that requires all coal-fired plants to either switch to clean fuels or integrate carbon capture technology by 2050, according to a decision newly issued by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.
By 2030, Vietnam will pilot carbon capture systems at selected aging coal power plants and consider decommissioning around 540 MW of coal-fired capacity at Pha Lai and Ninh Binh if efficiency and emission reduction targets cannot be met, Vietnam News reported Tuesday.
The Ninh Thuan nuclear power project is expected to be completed within five years.
By 2045, the Southeast Asian country will develop at least 1,160 MW of clean energy to replace coal power and gradually transition more than 25,000 MW of coal capacity to biomass and ammonia.
