August 1 2024: Vietnamese-German Hydrogen Workshop
Vietnam Hydrogen Club VAHC and the German Development Cooperation Agency (GIZ) are organizing the Vietnam-Germany Hydrogen Seminar which will be held on August 1, 2024 on the occasion of Germany delegation from Neuman & Esser to visit Vietnam led by their managing partner, Ms. Stefanie Peters who is also member of German National Hydrogen Council.
The Workshop aims to promote international collaboration between Germany plus and Vietnam on hydrogen industry development in Vietnam and sharing knowledge and experiences about developing hydrogen projects.
Below is our draft of the Workshop agenda
August 1 2024: Vietnamese-German Hydrogen Workshop
Date: August 1, 2024

Number of participants: 20~25 persons from VAHC, GIZ and invited guests who are on heavy industries, new energy and hydrogen.
Topic: Development of strategies and partnerships for the construction of the hydrogen infrastructure in Vietnam
Host: Vietnam ASEAN Hydrogen Club & GIZ
Guest: Ms. Stefanie Peters (Managing Partner of NEUMAN & ESSER and Member of German National Hydrogen Council)
Partners: Pacific Group, NEUMAN & ESSER, Kawasaki, Obayashi, Sharp Energy, Babcock & Wilcox, Bao Viet Insurance and some VAHC members (to be invited)
Guests from from GIZ
Type: half day workshop (from 13:00 to 17:00)
Content and objective of the workshop:
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, strategies for the development of hydrogen infrastructure in Vietnam will be developed. The objective is to form partnerships for hydrogen projects in Vietnam.
