Prospect of Vietnam's New and Renewable Energy

Vietnam is endowed with multiform new and renewable energy resources. However, potential of new and renewable resources in Vietnam has not been completely assessed. Although the Government has embarked several programs to expand the use of these resources, the share of new and renewable energy in total commercial energy is still insignificant. The purpose of this study is to summarize potential and current development status as well as the prospect of new and renewable energy. Identification of barriers that are the hindrances in the development of new and renewable energy would suggest measures to future commercialization of new and renewable energy.
