To develop a sustainable PtX and GH2 industry, the experts recommended that Viet Nam needs to establish standards and certifications for the PtX industry, as well as put effort into testing and operating a carbon market. Viet Nam should prioritize investing on low-hanging fruits options, especially the industries with no alternative solutions to green hydrogen.
