Developing a research agenda to ensure Vietnam’s secure sustainable and resilient energy supply

On May 15th, in Can Tho City, Can Tho University in collaboration with University of Salford, UK held a workshop on “Developing a Research Agenda to Ensure Vietnam’s Secure Sustainable and Resilient Energy Supply” with the sponsor of Newton fund, British Council. The workshop attracted more than 30 domestic and foreign scientists in the fields of environment, information technology and energy to find the solution to develop and provide sustainable energy sources for Mekong Delta in particular and for Vietnam in general. At the workshop, the scientists pointed out some problems in management and developing of energy resources in Vietnam. Presently, Vietnam is almost exploiting and using energy from non- renewable fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and even exporting with low price. This will cause great damage to the national resources not only at present but also in later generations. Moreover, this causes environmental pollution as greenhouse effect to make the earth be warmer, ice melting to cause floods and so on. Instead, we can completely exploit and use the renewable resources being friendly with the environment, such as solar, wind, rain, tides, trees, algae and geothermal energy. These are abundant in the tropical region like in Vietnam but how to use them effectively needs the application of advanced technology. From that reality, researchers from Salford proposed a long term strategy with Vietnamese researchers in application modern technology to exploit the renewable resources in order to become secure sustainable and resilient energy. The cooperation will be specialized by exchanging research lecturers and international students among the research institutes of Can Tho University and Salford University.
