SEH: Phuc Sang Minh Gas' Presentation Summary Takeaways
Title: Collect Biogas & Upgrading to BioCNG – Turning Agricultural Waste into Clean Energy
Presented by: Vu Van Nam (Member of BOD, Phuc Sang Minh Gas)
Event: Seminar on Exploiting Hydrogen and Biogas Energy from Agriculture and Plastic Waste, Nong Lam University HCMC (SEH, April 15, 2025)
1. Current Situation & Challenges
-
Vietnam’s Livestock Sector:
-
26.5 million pigs (2025), with 65% in South Vietnam. Rapid growth (5-7% annually), but waste treatment is neglected.
-
Livestock waste causes severe pollution (CH₄ emissions = 28× CO₂e) and health risks (respiratory, cardiovascular issues).
-
-
Biogas Potential:
-
Only 1–2.5% of Vietnam’s biogas potential (500–700M m³/year) is exploited.
-
Global biogas growth: 32%/year (IEA 2023); Vietnam’s growth: 5–15%/year but could triple by 2030s
-
2. Solution: BioCNG from Biogas
-
Phuc Sang Minh’s Approach:
-
Advanced Technology: Purifies raw biogas (removes CO₂, H₂S) to >95% methane (BioCNG/RNG).
-
Modular & Plug-and-Play: Quick deployment (4–6 months), minimal infrastructure investment.
-
Applications: On-site fuel (boilers, drying) or sold commercially (revenue stream).
-
-
Environmental Impact:
-
Reduces CO₂ emissions by 95% vs. fossil CNG (BioCNG is carbon-neutral per IPCC).
-
Aligns with Vietnam’s Net Zero 2050 goal and EU CBAM carbon tax compliance.
-
3. Economic & Social Benefits
-
Revenue from Waste:
-
Example: A 50,000-pig farm generates 1.2M–2.1M m³ biogas/year → 1.5–1.6B VND revenue.
-
-
Emission Reductions:
-
Avoids 25,000 tons CO₂e (if waste released) or 4,000 tons CO₂e (if burned).
-
-
Energy Security:
-
BioCNG replaces fossil CNG without equipment changes, offering price stability.
-
4. Case Studies & Global Relevance
-
International Models: German plants (EnviTec, Hitachi Zosen) showcase scalable biogas upgrading (membrane/amine scrubbing).
-
Local Projects: Phuc Sang Minh’s CNG solutions for steel (Hoa Phat), aluminum (Global Aluminum), and food (Acecook) industries.
5. Call to Action
-
Collaboration Needed: Urgent scaling of biogas-to-BioCNG projects to meet Vietnam’s energy demand (12% annual growth) and sustainability targets.
