The programme aims to popularise the role and targets of the National Research Council of Science & Technology and other Korean energy research institutes for increasing developing nations’ capacity to manage and develop sustainable energy.
Participants elaborated on the concept of sustainable energy, as well as tools, technologies and solutions for sustainable energy development.
They will also propose projects with international development donors, aiming to promote sustainable energy technologies suitable to each Southeast Asian nation.
According to an official from the Vietnam Ministry of Science and Technology, with its current energy consumption, Vietnam will become an energy importer in the future, so it is necessary to cut the use of scarce natural resources in order to address the issue.
