Making renewable energy work

30/10/2012

To raise the awareness and apply advanced technology to harness renewable energy sources and use them in large scale, Hanoi city has issued renewable energy development program period 2012 - 2015.

The purpose of the program is to enhance the use of renewable energy and related activities during 2012 - 2015 within the scope of the National Program on Energy Efficiency. Besides, awareness of organizations and individuals on the use of renewable energy is expected to increase, contributing to energy security and sustainable development.

Renewable energy potential in the city is mainly solar energy, natural wind power, biomass from agricultural by-products and waste. Therefore, to promote the use of renewable energy, the city will enhance communication and dissemination to raise awareness to the community through the demonstration projects using renewable energy, and to popularize hi-tech equipment in businesses, manufacturing units and households.

For public lighting systems, the city will implement the planning and architectural design consistent with natural conditions in order to reduce energy consumption in lighting, ventilation, cooling, heating in buildings.

The city's solutions in renewable energy development will be implemented in industrial production, agricultural production, transportation, services and household activities.

The program also offers solutions to promote households to use electricity and energy efficiently such as: providing information; introducing insulation materials, translucent materials, household facilities and equipment, and encouraging households to use solar energy water heater, biomass and biogas, etc.

Products using renewable energy technologies will be on display at the coming Hanoi International Exhibition of Energy Efficiency and the Environment as well as other international fairs.

Renewable energy resources include water power, wind, solar, geothermal, bio-fuels, and other energy resources which can be regenerated. These forms of energy are renewable, durable and environment- friendly.
