Announcement of Vietnam-Japan Hydrogen Workshop 2024 which will be held in Nikko Hotel Saigon on September 17, 2024 from 13:00 to 17:30 and dinner from 18:00 to 20:00
Dear Sir or Madam,
We would like to inform you that Vietnam ASEAN Hydrogen Club (VAHC, website at: www.vahc.com.vn ), Japan Hydrogen Association (JH2A, website at: https://www.japanh2association.jp/) and Japan External Trade Organization in Ho Chi Minh City (JERO Ho Chi Minh, website at: https://www.jetro.go.jp/vietnam/about/hochiminh.html) are cooperating to hold the Vietnam-Japan Hydrogen Workshop 2024 in Ho Chi Minh City on September 17, 2024, from 13:00 to 17:30 in Nikko Hotel Saigon, 235 Nguyen Van Cu street, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Introduction
Hydrogen has a key role to play in overcoming the climate crisis. An integrated view of the interdependent components of the hydrogen value chain is of central importance if this is to be successfully mastered around the world.
Decarbonizing the economy to achieve climate neutrality is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity in the coming decades. This is to be achieved by switching to renewable energies and by linking the energy, industry, building and mobility sectors. Because electricity generation from renewable energies such as wind and solar power is volatile, reliable and cost-effective storage and transportation options for large amounts of energy are needed. Decarbonization on a large scale can only succeed if these basic requirements are met. Hydrogen (H2) provides these capabilities in an almost ideal way, and it can also be used as a basic material or reaction partner in the process industry.
Vietnam has large capacities of solar and wind energy and therefore has ideal conditions for the production of green hydrogen. In this workshop, we will discuss about opportunities of hydrogen business in Vietnam. The objective is to form partnerships with Japan partners for hydrogen projects in Vietnam.
The purpose of the Vietnam-Japan Hydrogen Workshop 2024
Introducing Vietnam Hydrogen Roadmap to 2030 and vision to 2050 approved by Vietnam Government.
Introducing Japan Hydrogen Roadmap to 2050 announced by Japan Government
