At the COP26 Conference, Vietnam was one of the countries that announced a net zero emissions target by 0. Compared to the Nationally Determined Contribution Report 2050 (NDC 2020), updated NDC 2020 (NDC 2022) Vietnam has increased its unconditional emission reduction contribution to 2022 from 2030% to 9%; and conditional contributions from 15,8% to 27% (compared to the BAU business-as-usual development scenario).

| Over the past 10 years, Hai Phong Thermal Power has continuously strived towards green production and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. |
Along with the Law on Environmental Protection 2020, the Government has issued Decrees and decisions such as Decree No. 06/2022/ND-CP regulating greenhouse gas emissions mitigation and ozone layer protection; Decision No. 01/2022/QD-TTg promulgating the list of fields and establishments emitting greenhouse gases that must conduct greenhouse gas inventories; Circular No. 01/2022/TT-BTNMT detailing the implementation of the Law on Environmental Protection in response to Climate Change...
Accordingly, along with other industrial production sectors, thermal power is one of the production sectors that must carry out inventory reports and reduce emissions. Greenhouse gas according to number 01/2022/QD-TTg.
Previously, Resolution No. 24-NQ/TW in 2013 of the Central Government on responding to climate change, strengthening resource management and environmental protection was the foundation of Vietnam's socio-economic development axes. Male. Among them, the most important goal is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and respond to climate change
During the past 10 years, the energy sector, especially the thermal power sector, has made an important contribution to the socio-economic development process, but is also the sector with the highest proportion of emissions. Greenhouse gas. In addition, the thermal power industry is also considered to be greatly affected by global climate change, such as changes in air and water temperature that will affect the electricity generation efficiency of thermal power plants. Higher air power will reduce the power generation efficiency of thermal power plants, and increased water temperature can adversely affect the operation of cooling systems of thermal power plants.
Hai Phong Thermal Power Plant I and Hai Phong Thermal Power Plant II include 04 units with a total capacity of 1200MW invested by Hai Phong Thermal Power Joint Stock Company (referred to as Hai Phong Thermal Power) as a key project. national, located in Tam Hung commune, Thuy Nguyen district, Hai Phong city. With an average annual electricity output of about 7,2 billion kWh, the Plant has actively contributed to the process of industrialization and modernization of the country as well as ensuring national energy security.
Recognizing the impacts of climate change which are becoming increasingly urgent, in recent years Hai Phong Thermal Power has focused on providing solutions and plans to proactively respond to climate change, increase Strengthen the rational use of raw materials and input resources, promote environmental protection in production activities.

| Hai Phong Thermal Power Plant has greened 20% of the entire plant's area |
Mr. Duong Son Ba - General Director of Hai Phong Thermal Power Joint Stock Company said: For exhaust gas management, the company chooses advanced technology to install dust filtration and desulfurization systems in exhaust gas, ensuring emissions according to regulations. Chimney emissions are always monitored by an automatic monitoring system, continuously monitored to take timely corrective measures when pollution parameters are at risk of exceeding the threshold.
The Factory's wastewater includes industrial wastewater and domestic wastewater, currently collected and treated in a closed cycle. The treated water has parameters that meet the requirements according to National Technical Regulations and is reused to operate the slag disposal system, ensuring no discharge into the environment.
For cooling water, the company has installed automatic wastewater monitoring equipment before discharging into the receiving water source with the parameters of flow, temperature, and residual chlorine in accordance with the provisions of Decree 08/2022/ ND-CP. Automatic monitoring data of cooling wastewater has been transmitted directly to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment for monitoring and supervision according to regulations. Once every 12 months, the company conducts inspection and calibration of automatic and continuous monitoring equipment in accordance with the provisions of Circular 01/23/TT-BKHCN dated September 2013, 26 and the Circular No. 9/2013/TT-BKHCN dated July 07, 2019.
In addition, hazardous waste management is strictly managed and complies with the provisions of law on hazardous waste management. Specifically, the Factory's hazardous waste has few types but the volume generated is large and frequent due to equipment maintenance. Hazardous waste such as oil-contaminated rags, oil-contaminated water, and used wax and grease are collected and stored by the company at the hazardous waste warehouse and then transferred to the treatment unit in accordance with legal regulations.
For household waste management, the entire amount of generated household solid waste is classified right at the source, then collected and stored in the company's temporary household solid waste storage area. company before transferring it to a unit with the function of transporting and treating household solid waste in accordance with regulations.
Greening work is also given special attention by the company, carried out annually. On Tet holidays every year, the company organizes employees to plant more trees in areas of the Factory with the amount of planting from 200-300 trees per year to increase the green area of the Factory.
“Currently, the plant's green area has reached about 12 hectares (20% of the area) and casuarina trees are planted as dust-proof fences in the coal port area, coal warehouse and slag waste lake. The company has proactively coordinated with experts in the field of mixed coal combustion to research applications in the plant to help reduce emissions. At the same time, every year the Company sends staff to study in advanced countries in the field of management and operation of thermal power plants to proactively approach options in converting fuel towards using green fuel.”- Mr. Duong Son Ba said.
In particular, to implement solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions according to the annual roadmap in accordance with the provisions of Decree No. 06/2022/ND-CP dated January 07, 01 of the Government, the company has Proactively deploy investment in the project to renovate and upgrade the exhaust gas treatment system with an expected investment capital of about 2022 billion VND. Currently, the company is speeding up the preparation of reports, seeking approval from all levels and soon putting them into practice.
