(Ha Noi, 16th December 2025) – The EU – Viet Nam Sustainable Energy Transition Facility (EVSET Facility) launches the second Call for Technical Assistance for Non-MOIT Entities within the “EU – Viet Nam Sustainable Energy Transition Programme” (SETP) funded by the European Union (EU).

In an era where energy concerns dominate global discourse, the necessity for efficient and sustainable energy solutions has never been more urgent. Countries worldwide are grappling with how to balance economic growth with environmental preservation. Japan certainly has crafted an exemplary model of energy efficiency even with the daunting challenge of limited natural resources. Explore Japan’s core strategies for success and examine how to adapt these principles globally. These strategies offer valuable lessons for creating sustainable, energy-efficient communities in diverse contexts.

As the world shifts towards sustainable energy solutions, researchers are exploring innovative technologies that can efficiently convert heat into electricity.

In Iran, the energy sector is the largest contributor to carbon emissions.These sectors exert significant pressure on energy resources and contribute substantially to carbon emissions. Recognizing these challenges, UNDP Iran has spearheaded transformative initiatives in sustainable energy and operational efficiency at UN facilities.

MOST (molecular solar thermal energy storage systems) combines a silicon solar cell with an innovative storage system. This cutting-edge breakthrough not only addresses the pressing issues but also paves the way for a new era of sustainable energy storage. It achieves a record energy storage efficiency of 2.3%.

The energy structure in the next 10 years will change due to the impact of the pandemic as well as policy adjustments and sustainability as it recovers. Therefore, from now on, businesses in the Vietnamese energy industry need to plan and come up with an implementation strategy to be able to adapt to the new normal.

In the context of rapidly increasing energy demand, Vietnam has accelerated the transition to green and clean energy, gradually reducing fossil energy... in order to develop sustainable energy. This has actively supported the supply of power sources, especially in the recent time in the Northern region when there is a shortage of power sources and high loads, contributing to ensuring electricity supply for the whole period of 2021-2025.

The 3rd Energy Security Dialogue has an important message for both Vietnam and the US. It is an appropriate time for Vietnam and the US to update each other on the national energy development plan according to appropriate energy transition orientations, in line with the global climate change mitigation trend.

Over the years, Vietnam has shown a strong determination in exploiting and using renewable energy with a long-term vision of a sustainable energy transition.

The Danish Government is committed to provide non-refundable ODA of 60.29 million Krone, equivalent to 8.96 million USD for Vietnam to implement the Project "Danish - Vietnamese Energy Partnership Programme for the period 2020- 2025” (as known as DEPP3).

Energy security and sustainable energy sector development have always been the top concern of the Government of Vietnam. Over the years, the Government has always made efforts to increase energy efficiency.

The Seminar on “Energy transition for the ASEAN future”, one of the events in sustainable energy week 2016, was held at New World Hotel on 2nd March 2016.

The world’s first solar powered catwalk – the J Summer Fashion Show 2015 – took place last Friday evening, July 17th, at the Gemasolar plant outside Sevilla in southern Spain.

Sustainable Energy Days will be held in Moldova on June 15-21 within the European Union Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW).

Three energy efficiency and renewable energy projects from Spain, the UK and Austria have won the prestigious EU Sustainable Energy Europe Awards for their innovative, consumer-empowering ideas.

Addressing the participants at the symposium, UN Resident Coordinator Christina Carlson said, “The world currently faces a set of urgent, interconnected challenges owing to the lack of access to efficient, clean and affordable energy.”

An indicative amount of EUR346 million out of the total EUR400 million envelop has been provisionally allocated to support the Development of Sustainable Energy in Viet Nam.

To develop a Sustainable Energy Roadmap, Worldwatch analyzes an area’s potential for energy efficiency gains and undertakes detailed GIS mapping of local renewable energy resources, including biomass, solar, and wind.

To celebrate World Toilet Day on November 19, researchers at Columbia University's Engineering School, working in Ghana with Waste Enterprisers Ltd., the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), and the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, are launching a pilot facility to convert fecal sludge into biodiesel fuel, thereby addressing a ubiquitous societal problem and concurrently producing renewable, cost-effective sustainable energy.

They can help us pass the time, socialise and yes, even work, but can smartphones also help us save the planet? A paper recently published in the International Journal of Sustainable Energy suggests they can.
