Recently,《Vietnam News》Report: Russian President PutinstayVietnamDuring the visit, not only was Russia's ability in the production and supply of liquefied natural gas in Vietnam emphasized, but it was also officially announced that Russia's major liquefied natural gas producer, Novatek Group, will engage in deep cooperation in Vietnam. This news quickly caused a warm response within Vietnam, marking a crucial step towards getting rid of coal dependence and moving towards clean energy.

The liquefied natural gas market in Vietnam has enormous potential and has attracted the attention of global investors. Since last year, Novatek Group has expressed strong interest in the Vietnamese market multiple times and has made early preparationsAn office was established in Hanoi in August 2021. This move not only demonstrates Novatek's emphasis on the Vietnamese market, but also indicates that the Vietnamese liquefied natural gas industry is about to enter a golden period of development.

In addition to the liquefied natural gas sector, Vietnam's cooperation with Russia in nuclear energy is also noteworthy. The nuclear technology research center jointly established by both parties will have a new oneThe 10 MW research reactor is mainly used for producing irradiated silicon required for radiopharmaceuticals and semiconductor manufacturing. The implementation of this project will not only enhance Vietnam's strength in the field of nuclear technology applications, but also bring revolutionary changes to Vietnam's healthcare industry.

Chen Zhicheng, Director of the Atomic Energy Research Institute of the Vietnamese Ministry of Science and Technology, stated that the new research reactor will significantly increase the production capacity of radiopharmaceuticals, which will help address Vietnam's increasingly severe cancer challenge. Currently, Vietnam sees an annual increase in cancer cases as high asStarting from 180000, but the cure rate is only about 40%. The commissioning of the new reactor is expected to significantly increase this number and bring hope for more patients' lives.

according toAccording to the 2018 BP World Energy Statistics, Vietnam produced 9.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas in 2017, a decrease of 7.4% from the previous year and accounting for 0.3% of the global natural gas production. In addition, Vietnam's proven natural gas reserves are 0.6 trillion cubic meters, accounting for 0.3% of the world's proven reservesStorage production ratioIt is 68.3, higher than the world's reserve to production ratio of 52.6.

The Vietnamese government has listed liquefied natural gas as a core area of the National Electricity Development Plan and plans toStop building new coal-fired power plants after 2030. To achieve this goal, Vietnam is actively expanding the import scale of liquefied natural gas. It is expected that the annual import volume will reach 1 billion to 4 billion cubic meters between 2021 and 2025, and increase to 6 billion to 10 billion cubic meters in the next decade.

At present,The Vietnamese government has signed nuclear cooperation agreements with multiple countries to develop the nuclear industry. The nuclear energy development plan includes the construction of 8 nuclear power plants in the provinces of Ninh Thuan, Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Ha Tinh, and Quang Tri, with 4-6 nuclear power units installed in each plant. According to the plan, Vietnam's first nuclear power unit with a power of 1000 megawatts will be put into operation in 2020. By 2030, there will be 13 nuclear power units in operation nationwide, and the total nuclear power will reach 8000 megawatts by 2025 and increase to 15000 megawatts by 2030, accounting for 10% of Vietnam's total power generation.
