Abstract

Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas meet most of the energy needs of people, but fossil fuels are unsustainable. The use of fossil fuels is one of the main causes of climate change and it has a serious impact on human health. In addition, these fuels are depleting, so the research and use of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal or biomass is a necessity. In this paper, we mention some of the main reasons for promoting the development of renewable energy, the potential and the reality of renewable energy exploitation in Vietnam. In addition, we also outline the main reasons that hinder the development and exploitation of renewable energy sources in Vietnam.

Highlights

  • In modern life, the quality of human life depends very much on the sources of energy, so the exploitation and use of energy are of particular concern

  • Nuclear power plants are potentially dangerous, the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine in 1986 or the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan in 2011 are examples. We find it indispensable to supplement and replace traditional energy sources with safe and renewable energy sources

  • The gradual replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy sources is an indispensable trend for nations

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The quality of human life depends very much on the sources of energy, so the exploitation and use of energy are of particular concern. The 21st century with sustainable global development strategies, especially the period of "green economy development", has begun to see new technologies to produce "cleaner" electricity, including electricity from endless renewable energy sources in nature or always arise in human life[4]. These are the technologies that produce electricity from renewable energy sources in nature: wind; waves, tides; Sun; geothermal and marine heat. We discuss the main causes of renewable energy development, potential, exploitation situation and the main causes that restrict the development of renewable energy in our country
