| Abstract | Owing to the rapid economic growth, energy demand has increased rapidly. Vietnam
has to find the pathway for sustainable energy development. However, such a strategy should
be developed with consideration for the requirements of environmental protection, especially in
complying with international protocols about CO2 emission abatement.
Therefore, in this thesis the energy flow optimization model expended by environmental
modules (EFOM-ENV) is applied to Vietnam energy system. By using EFOM-ENV model,
energy strategy including fuel switching, substitution of energy conservation technologies and
application of emission-reduction technologies are considered.
In order to forecast energy demand up to the year 2010, which is projected in two
scenarios i.e. high case and Business as Usual (BAU) case, the Energy Demand Model for the
Developing Countries (MDEE-S) is used in this study also.
Results from this study were shown the high growth of final energy demand and also
primary energy supply in Vietnam in two next decades. The best way for reducing CO2
emissions will be the improvement of energy efficiencies in both energy production and energy
consumption sectors. |
