The event drew policymakers, international financial institutions, scholars, experts, and businesses.

Dr. Mai Duy Thien, Chairman of the Vietnam Clean Energy Association, said: "Hydrogen and its green derivatives have emerged as pivotal global strategic solutions to energy transition. With their outstanding characteristics, particularly zero carbon emissions throughout their lifecycle, hydrogen serves as a vital input for power generation, transportation, and various industrial sectors. It is not only the future of energy but also a key to sustainable development and net-zero emissions."

Vietnam has issued a Hydrogen Energy Development Strategy through 2030, with a vision to 2050, aiming to produce 100,000 to 500,000 tons of hydrogen annually by 2030, serving both domestic needs and exports, thereby contributing to energy security and the national net-zero emissions target.
