On September 11 th, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Support Center (SMEDEC 2), General Department of Standardization, Metrology and Quality - Ministry of Science and Technology in coordination with the Taiwan Institute for Industrial Technology Research (ITRI) organizes the workshop "Vietnam - Taiwan Green Technology" to share experiences of promoting and applying efficient renewable energy and providing green technology solutions for Vietnamese organizations and enterprises.
This is one of the series of activities supported by ITRI in Vietnam through the General Department of Standardization, Metrology and Quality to organize seminars, training courses and implementation of renewable energy projects in the next stages.
The seminar was attended by the representatives of departments, business associations, small and medium enterprises in the field of green technology in Ho Chi Minh city, aimed at updating policy information in the field of renewable energy in Vietnam and Taiwan, sharing experiences on solutions of Taiwanese companies in the field of green energy and create a forum for exchange among stakeholders on the benefits, solutions and opportunities for investment and cooperation in energy development between Taiwan and Vietnam.
At the seminar, Dr. Le Anh Kien, Deputy Director of Institute of Tropical Environment (ITE), said that the potential for renewable energy - wind power development of Vietnam is very large. The potential of hydropower is 7,000 MW, but currently attained about 2,373 MW; The potential of biomass is 2,000 MW while the capacity of attainment currently is 186.7 MW; The potential of solar power is 4-5WH/m2, which currently exploited 4 MW; The potential of wind power is 8,000 MW, currently operating at 159 MW; The potential of integrated solid waste energy is 320 MW, currently exploits 2.4 MW.
In addition, we have geothermal energy, ocean energy which has not been exploited. The target of Vietnam's renewable energy development, including 101 billion kWh of hydropower by 2020, accounting for 38% of the country's total national energy development, and 186 billion kWh by 2030, accounting for 32%, 425 billion kWh by 2050, accounting for 43%.
Tom Wu, chief engineer and director of the Taiwan Institute for Industrial Technology Research, said that in September of 1977, in order to promote green energy systematically, the Taiwanese government promulgated the "Development of renewable energy sources". With the goal of Taiwan's solar power development by 2025 with installed capacity of 20GW, generation of 25,000 GWh of electricity per year. Accordingly, the price of electricity in Taiwan from solar power has also decreased significantly, 13 yuan/kWh in 2010 to about 4.5 yuan/kWh in 2017.
Wu also shared that a new energy policy for a non-nuclear Taiwan in 2025 was started in 2016. In order to enhance the green energy use, systematic approach will be applied. Through systematic promotion programs and demonstration projects, ITRI will promote new areas of green technology and industrial development in Taiwan.
In order to develop the renewable energy sector, Wu said Vietnam needs a road map and active contributors in addition to its huge potential.
