Doosan Enerbility Vietnam (Doosan Vina) and Marubeni Group, Japan, have agreed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for ‘Cooperation of Offshore Wind Power in Việt Nam’ to promote new business activities of the two companies in the field of green and sustainable energies.
The two companies will be jointly involved in the offshore wind power supply chain in Việt Nam and cooperations towards reducing carbon emissions.
General Director of Doosan Vina, Kim Hyo Tae emphasised that Doosan Vina will actively participate in implementing the Vietnamese Government's commitment, made at the COP26 Conference, to hit net zero emissions by 2050.
This MOU, along with that signed with the global leading wind power group, Ørsted (Denmark), is a base for Doosan Vina to forcefully enter the renewable energy market.
Doosan Vina is currently shifting its focus and business portfolio towards environmental protection and takes this as a growth driver in the coming future.
Kim said that Việt Nam is a country with abundant wind, solar and sea power and it has a high potential to develop renewable energy, especially in terms of offshore wind power.
Kawamura, Marubeni’s head of power business at APAC region said that offshore wind will play an important role in Marubeni’s strategies. With 50-year experience in the power sector in Việt Nam, Marubeni wishes to contribute to Việt Nam's economic and government policy.
