Reducing the use of scarce natural resources through measurement of energy efficiency is critically needed to meet the energy demand of a growing economy like Vietnam, Vu Van Khiem, director general of the Ministry of Science and Technology’s National Office of the Southern Region, has said.
Speaking at a three-day training conference on sustainable energy technology last week in Ho Chi Minh City, Khiem said that Vietnam was facing an energy shortage within the next few decades.
