EVNPECC4 participated in GIZ training program on Green Hydrogen and PtX

As part of the development program on supporting the Green Hydrogen industry in Vietnam, the Germany International Cooperation (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit - GIZ) has conducted a series of training programs on Green Hydrogen (GH2) and Power-to-X (PtX - transformation from renewable energy to energy materials and carriers) to provide comprehensive knowledges and policies, along with practical experience to promote this industry in Vietnam.

Power Engineering Consulting JS Company 4 (EVNPECC4) participated in the third training session on GH2 and PtX held in Ho Chi Minh City from October 18^th to 20^th, 2023. The training program attracted nearly 20 participants from various sectors, including Investors; Consulting companies on Power, Chemical, Petroleum; Universities; Fertilizer companies.

Participants were trained in seven modules covering various aspects of renewable PtX technology, including production methods, economic considerations, infrastructures and markets. The lecturers are Associate Professor – Dr. Pham Hoang Luong (Hanoi University of Science and Technology) and M.Eng Nguyen Trong Tin (LILAMA 2 International Technology College).

Participants also visited the Phu My Fertilizer Plant to learn about the Ammonia production process – which is key material for Urea production. In this case, Ammonia was produced from Hydrogen extracted from natural gas by the Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) technology. This process has CO₂ emission, hence the product is called Grey Hydrogen/ Grey Ammonia. Participant groups engaged in discussions and presentations about the development potential for Green Hydrogen and PtX technology in Vietnam, using the SWOT model, then proposed recommendations and solutions to the development of this potential industry.
