Technical FAQs 4

Are Vietnam's major coal-thermal power plants a viable transition pathway?

The study explored viable transition pathways for Vietnam’s major coal-thermal power plants—namely Pha Lai, Cao Ngan, and Van Phong—assessing the potential impacts, costs, and benefits of various energy conversion options.

Who manages coal power plants in Vietnam?

Coal power plants under EVN’s Power Generation Corporation (EVNGENCOs) are managed by power companies. These companies oversee operation, management, and market participation matters. In Vietnam, coal-fired plants in the North use domestic coal due to their proximity to coal mines in Quang Ninh province and the Red River Delta.

Could CCUS Technology be used in coal-fired power plants in Vietnam?

Critical infrastructure solutions specialist Black & Veatch is looking into the possibility of deploying carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) tech in coal-fired power plants across Vietnam.

How many MW is a coal-fired power plant in Vietnam?

Each plant has a capacity of 2 x 600 megawatts (MW), the company said. “This is the first carbon capture study to be conducted on coal-fired power plants in Vietnam and its findings can help define the development of our national CCUS roadmap and legal framework”, said The VPI senior expert Nguyen Huu Luong.
