The rapid growth of Vietnam'seconomy, industry, and consumption has resulted inunprecedented growth in energy demand, and itsinfrastructure for extracting, generating, and distributingenergy is expanding to try to meet those needs. Between 2000and 2005, total primary energy consumption in Vietnam grew10.6 percent per year. Growth in fossil-fuel consumption wascorrespondingly high, with coal use growing at 14.9 percentper year, oil use at 8.2 percent per year, and natural gasuse at 37 percent per year. From 2002 to 2030,Vietnam's primary energy demand is expected to grow ata rate of 4.4 percent, increasing from 42 megatons oilequivalent (MTOE) in 2002 to 142 MTOE in 2030. This notewill focus on Vietnam's potential Greenhouse gas (GHG)emission reductions and possible interventions associatedwith resource extraction and power generation for gridelectricity.Emissions from power generation in industryand transport are covered under the respective sector notes,and reduction of greenhouse gases through management ofend-use demand is covered in the context of industry (as thelargest energy user) in the industry sector note.
