Given the increasing demand for energy, especially in the context of strong economic development, energy transition is an important task for Vietnam and an essential factor in ensuring energy security, protecting the environment, and promoting sustainable socio-economic development.

Energy costs account for 20-30% of total production expenses in the paper and pulp manufacturing sector. Experts believe that the potential for energy savings in this industry is substantial.

On Sept. 24, during the United Nations General Assembly and the New York Climate Week, the International Energy Agency (IEA) released a new report indicating that the goals supported by countries at the United Nations Climate Conference (COP28) — such as tripling renewable energy capacity and doubling energy efficiency by the end of 2030 — could be achievable with the right enabling conditions.

Researchers have created an advanced refrigeration device that combines eco-friendliness with unprecedented cooling efficiency. The system achieves a temperature lift of 75 K by expanding the super elastic temperature window of NiTi shape memory alloys.

While running the washing machine or tumble dryer may not be as energy wasteful (and expensive) as it used to be, there are plenty of ways to save when it comes to your laundry. We've collected our top tips for saving energy when you're washing and drying your clothes, and for advice on choosing an energy efficient washing machine.

Hanoi authorities have teamed up with relevant agencies to provide technical assistance to businesses in developing energy efficiency indices and adopting advanced energy-saving technologies.

Joining hands to save electricity to implement the electricity demand response (DR) program has brought benefits to businesses and people while still ensuring production, business, and daily life. At the same time, it contributes to reducing the pressure on the power supply during the peak season.

The importance of energy efficiency is not to be understated. The International Energy Agency estimates that energy efficiency improvements could contribute as much as 47% of reductions in energy-related CO2 emissions achievable by 2030.

According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the industrial sector currently accounts for more than 50% of the total energy consumption nationwide. Surveys show that the potential for energy-saving in Vietnam's industry is estimated at around 20-30%.

The federal government has rolled out its new strategy to improve energy efficiency in buildings across the country, claiming it will result in significant savings on Canadians' energy bills.

Local governments in the Philippines are promoting green energy and sustainable development. The Iloilo City government has tapped solar power to meet at least one-third of its around 200 KW daily demand.

To promote steel exports to the European Union (EU) market, Vietnam's steel manufacturers need to optimise technology, save energy, and carry out product quality standards of the EU, according to Do Nam Binh, head of the Minerals and Metallurgy Division at the Department of Industry under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT).

The problem is only going to grow as high-powered AI-based computers and devices become commonplace. That's why University of Missouri researcher Chanwoo Park is devising a new type of cooling system that promises to dramatically reduce energy demands.

For large industries such as paper, steel, and others with large energy consumption, effective energy management is extremely important. It is not only a key factor in reducing product costs, but also directly impacts the long-term survival and development of the business.

Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha has recently signed the Prime Minister’s Directive No. 20/CT-TTg on increasing electricity saving during the 2023 - 2025 period and subsequent years.

Energy efficiency and conservation usage in industry are crucial to the development of the economy and society while ensuring national energy security.

The Indonesian Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing is encouraging the development of green buildings and increasing energy efficiency through the use of modern technology, including rooftop solar power plants.

A World Economic Forum and PwC report sets out a host of energy efficiency actions it claims are 'doable today, at attractive returns with no need for new technology.'

Vietnam needs to consider the development of battery energy storage system (BESS) while the country is on a path towards promoting renewable energies to ensure energy security and sustainable development, experts have said.

Energy efficiency is not just about using less energy, but also about using energy intelligently and optimally. In the context of increasingly scarce energy resources and the threat of climate change, improving energy efficiency has become an urgent task for every country and individual.
