As a key player in Vietnam’s energy sector, Petrovietnam operates numerous high-energy-consuming facilities across the country. These include the Dung Quat Oil Refinery in Quang Ngai, power plants, and fertilizer factories located in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Dong Nai, Ca Mau, Hau Giang, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, and Thai Binh, as well as headquarters in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. These facilities are essential to energy production and operations, making a significant contribution to national energy security.
Faced with increasing energy demands, climate change challenges, and environmental protection goals, Petrovietnam must balance the dual responsibilities of maintaining stable production and optimizing energy efficiency. This is both a strategic objective and a commitment to sustainable development.
To achieve this, the Group has implemented a series of measures aimed at energy optimization. These include integrating modern technologies and automation into production processes to minimize energy waste and improve system performance; installing monitoring systems at all major facilities to closely track consumption and promptly address inefficiencies, reducing costs and alleviating strain on the national power grid; exploring and investing in renewable and alternative energy sources to enhance supply while improving energy efficiency at existing facilities. These efforts not only reduce carbon emissions but also support environmental protection and sustainability goals.

Petrovietnam places a strong emphasis on the safety and continuous operation of its plants. Significant investments are directed toward periodic maintenance, system upgrades, and the training of highly skilled technicians and operators. Strict adherence to national and international safety, quality, and efficiency standards ensures smooth operations and minimizes risks.
By prioritizing advanced technology and human resource development, Petrovietnam has optimized energy consumption across its facilities, reinforcing its role as a leader in energy efficiency and safety.
Petrovietnam’s comprehensive strategies underline its commitment to energy conservation, environmental protection, and sustainable economic growth. As the Group strives to become a national industrial-energy leader, it continues to meet Vietnam’s energy needs while contributing to broader national goals of sustainability and environmental stewardship.
