(2024), Global trends and challenges to offshore wind energy in Vietnam, 3rd Vietnam Symposium on Advances in Offshore Engineering: Interdisciplinary and Integrated Solutions for Sustainable Offshore Infrastructure (VSOE 2024), 12-14 December, Hanoi, Vietnam, pp. 21-44
Vietnam has experienced a sharp rise in electricity demand in recent years, driven by rapid industrialisation and economic growth. In response, the country has prioritised energy security and sustainable energy expansion to counter the depletion of fossil fuels and address the looming threat of climate change. The country's renewable energy sector has seen notable progress, particularly in offshore renewable energy, which is becoming a key focus for Vietnam, leveraging its extensive coastline and abundant wind and marine resources. This overview examines Vietnam's offshore renewable energy potential, primarily focusing on wind energy while considering solar, wave, and tidal energy as complementary sources. Special attention is given to offshore wind energy, which holds significant potential for contributing to Vietnam's energy diversification and sustainable development objectives. This overview examines the potential of floating wind energy in Vietnam, highlighting its economic and environmental advantages, its capacity to address the nation's increasing energy demands, and its role in advancing sustainability objectives, enhancing energy security, alleviating land-use pressures, and supporting climate goals. The potential and future outlook of wave and tidal energy in Vietnam and the available technological advancements are also presented.
