Post-Seminar Summary: "Pioneering Waste-to-Energy Solutions for Vietnam’s Carbon Neutral Future"

Hosted by: Nong Lam University & Vietnam ASEAN Hydrogen Club (VAHC)
Date: April 15, 2025 | Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Key Outcomes:

Collaborative Vision:
- Leaders from academia (Nong Lam University), government (JICA, Netherlands Consulate), and industry (VAHC, WABIO) underscored the urgency of converting agricultural/plastic waste into hydrogen and bioenergy to achieve Vietnam’s carbon neutrality goals.
Policy & Technology Insights:
- JICA highlighted successful waste-to-energy models and pledged support for pilot projects.
- Legal frameworks (by Nishimura Asahi) and livestock waste solutions (Verdant Biogas) addressed scalability challenges.
- International case studies (Japan, Germany, USA) showcased cutting-edge tech like plastic-to-fuel conversion and biomass biogas.
Actionable Steps:
- A panel discussion moderated by Prof. Nguyen Huy Bich identified Nong Lam University as a potential hub for demonstration projects.
- Emphasis on public-private partnerships to commercialize technologies and attract investment.

Next Steps:

Explore pilot projects for waste-to-hydrogen/biogas at Nong Lam University.
Strengthen international collaboration (e.g., JICA, WABIO) for knowledge transfer.

Quote from VAHC Chairman:
"This seminar marks a pivotal step toward a circular economy. Vietnam’s waste can power its future—if we act together."
