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.
