Demand for LNG continues to be strong that will outpace domestic production from 2020 onwards.
For that reason, Vietnam LNG-to-Power Summit 2019 takes place to address the need, vision, and challenges for LNG import and LNG-to-power utilization which have become the urgent task for Vietnam.

Why is Vietnam LNG-to-power Summit meaningful?
To push forward the development of LNG-to-power, the government of Vietnam has issued a number of policies and launched a series of initiatives to increase the LNG utilization.
Under the Vietnam Gas Industry Development Master Plan till 2035, the gas production volume across the country will increase from 10 billion cubic meter (cu.m) per year to 21 billion cu.m/year in the 2015 – 2035 period.
To reach the goal, Vietnam will develop the LNG terminal systems and related facilities which will hit 3-4 LNG terminals with annual capacity of 1-3 million tons each depot for 2021-2025 and 5-6 LNG terminals of approximately 3 million tons/year each for 2026-2035.
With an aim to facilitate the cooperation between local and international stakeholders, Vietnam LNG-to-Power Summit 2019 with exhibition, conference, and project match-making forum will create a non-stop business matching platform for all industry players to share their knowledge and to expand business contacts in Vietnam’s rapidly-growing LNG sector.
