Before the national target set by the Prime Minister at the 26th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 26), by 2050, Vietnam will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. greenhouse gas zero, many practical actions have been promptly launched by the Party, State and Government with contents close to the requirements set forth.
In the context that science and technology plays an increasingly important role in promoting the development of industries and fields, becoming a key driving force in socio-economic growth, science and technology are also the driving force behind the development of science and technology. , the key to the nation's net zero goal.

According to Mr. Nguyen Tien Tai, Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology for economic - technical branches, identifying science and technology as the key to the country's socio-economic development, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 569/QD-TTg on Science, Technology and Innovation Development Strategy to 2030. Accordingly, the Decision clearly states the contents of applied research and mastery of emission reduction technologies. Greenhouse gas; promote application and master clean production technology, environmentally friendly technology, wastewater treatment technology, solid waste, hazardous waste, exhaust gas, waste recycling technology with features and prices become suitable for the conditions of Vietnam. Along with that, develop, apply and transfer advanced technologies and modern equipment for waste recycling, sustainable use of resources and environmental restoration; carbon capture and storage technologies in thermal power plants and other carbon emission production facilities.
In order to concretize the assigned tasks, the Ministry of Science and Technology has approved the implementation of national science and technology tasks to serve to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, assess the need for clean technology, low carbon emissions. That is the program "Research and application of energy technology" approved by the Minister of Science and Technology to implement from July 7. The program has the number one goal of applying and mastering advanced technologies and equipment in the exploration, exploitation, production and efficient use of primary energy, clean energy, and biological energy. Renewable energy contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, meeting the national energy development strategy and orientation. In addition, the research content of the Program includes research, development, and application of advanced technologies in the exploitation of solar, wind, biomass, hydrogen and some other new forms of energy.
At the Program: "Research, application and development of advanced technologies for the environmental industry" approved by the Minister of Science and Technology from July 7, a number of specific goals have been established. given. Among these are the application and development of advanced technologies for waste treatment and recycling, and environmental monitoring in accordance with Vietnam's conditions and the world's trends; master and develop technology to manufacture equipment, vehicles and products for waste treatment and environmental protection to meet domestic and export demand.
The program "Scientific and technological research for environmental protection, disaster prevention and response to climate change" approved for implementation from June 6, sets out research, application and implementation objectives. develop advanced technologies to serve the development/update of climate change scenarios, monitoring and assessing impacts on sectors, fields and localities, and at the same time proposing public solutions. effective response technology suitable to Vietnamese conditions.
Mr. Nguyen Tien Tai said that the Ministry of Science and Technology focused on finding partners to carry out international cooperation tasks in science and technology under the Protocol signed with foreign countries in the field of climate change. climate change; at the same time, encourage, mobilize and find financial support in the field of development, application and transfer of advanced methods, models and technologies to serve the development and update of climate change scenarios. climate change, monitoring and assessing impacts on sectors, fields and localities, and at the same time proposing effective technological solutions to cope, especially for adaptation and emission reduction. greenhouse gas, suitable for Vietnam conditions. The partners of the Ministry of Science and Technology are mainly from: Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Canada, France, Korea, Japan...
In the coming time, with the task of applying and developing science and technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the Ministry of Science and Technology will continue to prioritize resources to implement the tasks in the programs. related tasks and a number of tasks ordered by ministries, branches and localities, and international cooperation tasks on science and technology in service of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in important fields such as: , agriculture, traffic, construction…
Accordingly, the Ministry focuses on developing green technology, clean technology that is friendly to the environment; promote the application of advanced technologies in the energy transition process such as: Green hydrogen co-firing technology, green ammonia; renewable energy technologies, namely high-efficiency, environmentally friendly solar photovoltaic panels, high-efficiency wind turbines; carbon capture and storage technology…
