The Ministry of Science and Technology implements the Net Zero science and technology program to create breakthrough solutions, transfer green technology, and aim for a green economy.
The information was said by Minister of Science and Technology Huynh Thanh Dat at the announcement of the Science and Technology Research Program to serve the goal of achieving net zero emissions in Vietnam (Net Zero Science and Technology Program , code KC.16/24 -30) held on the morning of December 12.
The Minister expects the Program to be the foundation, creating breakthrough solutions in carbon capture and storage technology, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, towards a green economy and weekly economy. He hopes that Institute Directors, businesses, and scientists will jointly research, decode, apply new technologies, and join hands to research and propose policies to promote green transformation and circular economy models. complete, green growth.
The Minister said that the Net Zero science and technology program is one of the timely action programs of the Ministry of Science and Technology in implementing the Central direction on the immediate formation of a science program. and national technology that directly serves the goal of net zero emissions by 2050 in Vietnam.

Mr. Nguyen Hoang Linh, Director of the Department of Technology Assessment, Appraisal and Inspection, Ministry of Science and Technology, said that the Program sets three main goals. The firstencourage research that provides scientific and practical basis to propose improvements in policies, standards, and solutions to improve State management efficiency with the goal of achieving net zero emissions in Vietnam.
According to Mr. Linh, although the Government has legal frameworks and general regulations to implement emission reduction. However, more specific policy proposals are needed, such as developing standards for the assessment process of clean, green technology.
Mondayresearch aims to propose models and solutions for green, circular, low-carbon economic development; Coordinate with international organizations and Vietnamese scientists abroad to propose technological solutions and improve the quality of human resources in this field.
According to Mr. Linh, there is currently no qualified, internationally recognized organization that certifies greenhouse gas inventories at production facilities, contributing to the implementation of carbon credit transactions. Therefore, the ordering program recommends building greenhouse gas inventory capabilities.
Tuesdaytopics focusing on applied research, decoding, and technology transfer; Advanced solutions and techniques in industries and fields, contributing to management and inventory to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, develop green technology, new energy, new materials… Research and development Developing and applying carbon capture, utilization and storage technology. This contributes to reducing energy consumption, displacement and conversion.
According to Mr. Linh, the Net Zero science and technology program will go hand in hand with nearly 20 other national science and technology programs managed by the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Hoang Minh requested the Board of Directors and agencies and organizations to focus on research and identify breakthrough priority tasks in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and developing technology. carbon capture and storage technology, circular economy. Tasks need to be designed to suit Vietnam’s practical conditions and be highly applicable.
He also asked research organizations to cooperate with businesses, localities, and international organizations, propose inter-sectoral, inter-regional tasks, international cooperation tasks… Encourage and facilitate Favorable conditions for businesses to participate in research activities, technology transfer and practical applications.
