Vietnam territory is
located in the tropical climate zone with over 3,200 km long coastline.
Therefore, there is great potential for renewable energy development. The
available renewable energy sources in Vietnam are: solar energy, wind energy,
biological energy, hydropower and energy from the sea.
Vietnam has great
potential for hydroelectric power, with total theoretical capacity of about 35
GW, the technical potential is about 26 GW, annually it can produce more than
100 GWh; in which the small hydropower (the installed machine capacity <30
MW) has the potential to produce about 15-20 GWh of electricity.
Until 2013, the total
number of projects have been put into operation is 268 projects, with a total
installed machine capacity of 14,240.5 MW. As planned, until 2017, there will
be 473 projects will be put into operation with a total installed machine
capacity of 21,229.3 MW. In addition, according to the Electricity Corporation
of Vietnam, the potential of small hydropower has installed machine capacity of
about 4,000 MW.
In a report of the World
Bank in 2001, the wind energy potential of Vietnam is estimated at 512 GW, much
higher compared to other countries such as Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.
Vietnam has great
potential for solar energy, particularly in the Central and South of the
country, with the average intensity of solar radiation of about 5 kWh/m2. The
total theoretical potential of solar energy in Vietnam is estimated at 43.9
billion TOE (TOE – tons of oil equivalent).
With the advantage of
being an agricultural country, Vietnam has a large and diverse biomass sources,
including wood, firewood, rice husk, rice straw, sugarcane bagasse and other
kind of agricultural residues. Annually, Vietnam is estimated to have over 60
million tons of biomass from agricultural waste. The biomass energy sources
mentioned above can be used to produce bio-fuel (ethanol), fuel pellet, biogas
and various other products.
Vietnam livestock
industry is now quite developed, released to the environment annually a large
amount of livestock waste in the form of solid and liquid.
According to the
statistic data from national environmental status by 2014, the amount of solid
waste from livestock in 2013 in Vietnam includes: 18.5 million tons from
raising cows, 13.8 million tons from raising buffalo, 18.9 million tons from
raising pig, 22.6 million tons from raising poultry. Part of livestock waste in
rural area of Vietnam provides raw material for more than half a million active
biogas in three regions of the country.
With a population of
nearly 90 million people, the annually amount of domestic waste generated due
to activities of the population is very huge. Domestic waste after being
collected and classified can be recycled, reused and recovered energy from
waste incineration or landfills.
