The transportation sector shifts to renewable energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions

Nang-luong-xanh-giao-thong-van-tai

The Prime Minister issued new Decision No. 876/QD-TTg on July 22, 2022, authorizing The action program on green energy transition and reducing carbon and methane emissions from the transportation sector referred to as The green energy transformation action program.

Green logistics – an important point for sustainable development

The green energy transformation action program aims to develop a green transportation system that will reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to “zero” by 2050. The program has established a roadmap for green energy transformation with each mode of transportation, including roadway, railway, inland waterway, maritime, airway, and so on.

The green energy transformation action program for the transportation sector

The roadway, period 2022 – 2030,  will promote the production, assembly, import, and conversion of the use of road motor vehicles using electricity; expanding mixing, using 100% E5 gasoline for road motor vehicles; developing charging infrastructure to meet the needs of people and businesses; and encouraging new and existing of bus stations and rest stops to convert according to green criteria. By 2040, it will progressively halt the manufacturing, assembly, and import of fossil-fuel automobiles, motorbikes, and motorcycles for domestic usage. The objective is for all motor vehicles and motorcycles on the roadway to be powered by green electricity and energy by 2050.

Between 2022 and 2030, there will be pilot studies on the use of green electricity and energy railway vehicles on current railway lines; develop a plan and invest in a roadmap to replace expired old railway vehicles with ones that can be converted to green electricity and energy; and encourage the conversion of station loading and unloading equipment that uses green electricity and energy. By 2050, the program seeks to convert all locomotives, train carriages, and all fossil fuel equipment at stations to green electricity and energy.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation industry

The roadmap for green energy transformation with modes of transportation such as inland waterway, marine, and airway also establishes targets of 100 percent vehicle conversion to green electricity and energy, such as:

  • Inland waterway: By 2040, all newly built inland waterway vehicles will utilize green energy, and all newly built inland waterports will meet the green port criteria. By 2050, all vehicles and equipment at ports and inland waterways will be powered by green electricity and energy.
  • Maritime: By 2050, all ships operating on domestic routes will be powered by green energy.
  • Airway: By 2040, all vehicles operating in the airport zone will be converted to utilize electricity. It will revolutionize 100 percent green energy, sustainable airway fuel for airplanes, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Transportation is a major energy consumer in Vietnam and a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions; it emits around 45 million tons of CO2 equivalent in 2019 and is expected to increase by an average of 6-7 percent per year, reaching roughly 90 million tons of CO2 by 2030. As a result, the green energy transition, as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation industry, are thought to play an important role in the roadmap for Vietnam to achieve the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions as well as carbon neutrality by 2050, as committed by the Prime Minister at the COP26 Conference.

Focus on urban areas: Achieving 100% green transportation by 2050.

It is anticipated that by 2050, around 70% of Vietnam’s population will be concentrated in urban areas. As a result, the shift to green transportation in metropolitan areas requires additional attention. In this area, the Program has set a goal of 100% replacement buses and new investments utilizing green electricity and energy by 2025. From 2030, the percentage of cars that use green energy will climb to at least 50%, and at the same time, all new taxis will use electricity and green energy. By 2050, all buses and taxis will utilize this energy.

交通运输部门转向可再生能源并减少温室气体排放

Nang-luong-xanh-giao-thong-van-tai

总理于 2022 年 7 月 22 日发布了新的第 876/QD-TTg 号决定,授权实施绿色能源转型和减少交通运输部门碳和甲烷排放的行动计划(简称绿色能源转型行动计划).

绿色能源转型行动计划旨在发展绿色交通系统,到 2050 年将温室气体净排放量减少到“零”。该计划制定了包括公路、铁路、内河航道在内的每种交通方式的绿色能源转型路线图、海运、空运等.

道路,2022-2030 年,将促进电力道路机动车辆的生产、组装、进口和转换使用;扩大混合,使用 100% E5 汽油用于道路机动车辆;发展充电基础设施以满足人们和企业的需求;鼓励新建和现有的公交车站和休息站按照绿色标准进行改造。到 2040 年,将逐步停止生产、组装和进口供国内使用的化石燃料汽车、摩托车和摩托车。目标是到 2050 年,道路上的所有机动车辆和摩托车都由绿色电力和能源提供动力.

2022年至2030年,在现有铁路线上开展绿色电力和能源铁路车辆使用试点研究;制定计划并投资路线图,用可转化为绿色电力和能源的旧铁路车辆替换过期的旧铁路车辆;鼓励车站装卸设备改造使用绿色电力和能源。到 2050 年,该计划力求将车站的所有机车、火车车厢和所有化石燃料设备转换为绿色电力和能源.

内河、海运和航空等交通方式的绿色能源转型路线图还确立了汽车 100% 转化为绿色电力和能源的目标,例如:

  • 内河航道:到2040年,新建内河航道车辆全部使用绿色能源,新建内河水港全部达到绿色港口标准。到2050年,港口和内河航道的所有车辆和设备都将使用绿色电力和能源.
  • 海事:到 2050 年,所有在国内航线上运营的船舶都将使用绿色能源.
  • 航空:到 2040 年,所有在机场区内运营的车辆都将改用电力。它将彻底改变 100% 的绿色能源,即飞机的可持续航空燃料,到 2050 年减少温室气体排放.

交通是越南的主要能源消耗者和温室气体排放的重要来源;它在 2019 年排放约 4500 万吨二氧化碳当量,预计平均每年增加 6-7%,到 2030 年达到约 9000 万吨二氧化碳。因此,绿色能源转型以及减少交通运输业的温室气体排放被认为在越南实现到 2050 年减少温室气体排放和实现碳中和目标的路线图中发挥重要作用,正如总理在 COP26 会议上所承诺的那样.

预计到 2050 年,越南约 70% 的人口将集中在城市地区。因此,大都市地区向绿色交通的转变需要额外的关注。在这方面,该计划设定了到 2025 年实现 100% 替代公共汽车和新投资利用绿色电力和能源的目标。从 2030 年开始,使用绿色能源的汽车比例将攀升至至少 50%,同时,所有新的出租车都将使用电力和绿色能源。到 2050 年,所有公共汽车和出租车都将利用这种能源.
