VAHC activities

The 2025 Shenzhen eVTOL Industry Development Conference and Low-Altitude Economy Exhibition was grandly opened on September 23 at the Swallow Lake International Convention and Exhibition Center in Pingshan, Shenzhen. 

For many years, hydrogen has been primarily associated with energy and transportation applications: power generation from hydrogen, hydrogen refueling stations for fuel-cell vehicles, and long-duration energy storage solutions. However, recent scientific research has opened new avenues for hydrogen in medicine and health, particularly in its roles as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory agent, cellular protector, and supportive therapy in emergency conditions.

(Based on the presentation by Ms. Nguyễn Thị Thu Hiền, Southern Branch Director of Delta International JSC, at the workshop on hydrogen injection technology for internal combustion engines to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, organized by VAHC and UEF with the support of Ikonomy on September 16, 2025)

On September 26, 2025, at the Workshop on Hydrogen Injection Technology into Internal Combustion Engines to Reduce Fuel Consumption and Emissions, organized by the Vietnam-ASEAN Hydrogen Club in collaboration with UEF University, Dr. Đoàn Mạnh Tiến – Deputy Head of the Research & Development (R&D) Department of PetroVietnam Gas (PV GAS) – delivered an inspiring presentation outlining a comprehensive and strategic vision for the company’s green hydrogen initiatives.

The presentation "Policy Directions for Hydrogen in Transportation" by Dr. Nguyễn Hữu Lương, Senior Hydrogen Expert from the Vietnam Petroleum Institute (VPI), at the seminar organized by the Vietnam-ASEAN Hydrogen Club and UEF University, went beyond discussing specific hydrogen injection technologies and provided a comprehensive, strategic picture of hydrogen’s role in Vietnam’s energy transition and emission reduction journey, especially in the transportation sector.
