The Vietnam ASEAN Hydrogen Club (VAHC), Japan Suiso Co., Ltd., and HUTECH University are pleased to announce the Vietnam Japan Hydrogen Workshop 2025, to be held on October 17, 2025, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

As the transportation and logistics industries face rising fuel costs and stricter environmental regulations, hydrogen has emerged as an innovative solution to improve the efficiency of existing diesel and gasoline engines.

This seminar introduces hydrogen injection technology—a proven system that blends small amounts of hydrogen into conventional internal combustion engines. This approach reduces fuel consumption, cuts greenhouse gas emissions, and improves engine performance without requiring a complete switch to fuel-cell vehicles.

Leading experts and technology providers will present real-world case studies, technical demonstrations, and partnership opportunities to accelerate the adoption of hydrogen retrofits in logistics fleets, marine vessels, airport ground vehicles, and rail transport.

The Seminar is of hybrid (online and direct attending)

Ho Chi Minh City, July 16, 2025 – During the Vietnam – Korea Hydrogen Workshop 2025, the presentation by Mr. Nguyen Thien Binh, founder of HB-GREEN, offered a practical and grounded perspective: that hydrogen deployment doesn’t always require megawatt-scale projects or billion-dollar infrastructure — it can start with small, flexible, on-site equipment built for real-world needs.

Dr. Tran Thanh Tam closed his presentation by reminding participants that Vietnam’s climate journey is not a sprint—but a generational commitment. Net-Zero by 2050 is not a rhetorical finish line, but a “strategic anchor” that will shape national planning, institutional reform, and international positioning for decades.

His remarks resonated deeply with the audience, many of whom recognized the presentation as a clear roadmap—not only for Vietnam’s transition, but as a model for other ASEAN nations seeking to navigate the complexities of climate ambition, energy security, and green growth.

At the Vietnam–Korea Hydrogen Workshop held in Ho Chi Minh City on July 16, 2025, Dr. Nguyen Huu Luong from the Vietnam Petroleum Institute (VPI) delivered a keynote presentation titled "Green Hydrogen Development in Vietnam: Potentials and Challenges." His comprehensive, data-driven analysis provided both Vietnamese and international delegates with a realistic and ambitious perspective on how Vietnam could develop a viable green hydrogen industry within the next few decades.
