 Results:
- 160 questionnaires delivered, 131 questionnaires
collected (achieved 81,9%).
- Right answers: medium level
- Reasons for the most mistaken answers were
related to confusion between UNFCCC and Vienna
Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer,
Kyoto Protocol and Montreal Protocol on
substances that deplete the Ozone Layer, CDM and
Clean Production…

the southern provinces/cities
a. Rang Dong Oil Field Associated Gas Recovery
and Utilization Project in Ba Ria - Vung Tau
Province (located about 140km off the southeastern coast of Viet Nam)
 Project participants:
 Vietnam Oil and Gas Corporation
PETROVIETNAM: the Vietnamese State Oil and
Gas Company
A. Main implemented activities of the CD4CDM
Project in the southern provinces/cities (cont.)
 PETROVIETNAM Exploration and Production Company:
a wholly owned subsidiary of PETROVIETNAM.
 CONOCOPHILLIPS GAMA Ltd.: a company incorporated
under the laws of England
 Purpose: the recovery and utilization of gases produced
as a by-product of oil production activities. This byproduct gas was disposed at the platform via a
combustion process emitting largely CO2
 Activities: construction of a gas pipeline and
compressor facilities to recover and transport the byproduct gas which is processed into dry gas (mostly
methane), LPG (butane and propane) and Condensate.
Such dry gas will be supplied to the nearby power plants
(Phu My and Ba Ria), LPG will be consumed
domestically as home cooking fuel and condensate will
A. Main implemented activities of the CD4CDM
Project in the southern provinces/cities (cont.)
 Expected results:
 Provide an additional source of clean-burning natural
gas and contribute to reduction of import dependency
of petroleum products.
 Reduce price of gas provided to the power plant about
half the rate obtained through other gas fields.
 Eliminate significantly GHGs emission. 6.74 million
tonnes CO2 will be reduced over the crediting period
that creates “Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) to
the project participants.
 Current status: PDD of the project was approved by
Viet Nam in May 2004. The project has been validated
and considered to registration as a CDM project by
international authority entities.

Plant #3
 Project participants:
 New Energy and Industrial Technology Development
Organization of Japan (NEDO).
 Tohoku Electric Power Company (Japan)
 Electricity of Viet Nam (EVN).
 Purpose: switching fuel from FO to natural gas at
the Thu Duc Power Plant under CDM.
 Activity: renovate the FO Unit 3 boiler to a naturalgas-fired one, use the pipeline from Nam Con Son
gas field developed by PETROVIETNAM
A. Main implemented activities of the CD4CDM
Project in the southern provinces/cities (cont.)
Expected results:
 Reduction of GHG emissions: 68,300 tonnes
CO2 eq./year and total: 825,000 tonnes over 10
years.
 Reduction of other GHG emissions:
• S0x: from 1600 ppm to 2 ppm
• N0x: from 240 ppm to 200 ppm
• Dust: from 150mg/m3N to 0 mg/m3 N.
Current status: PDD is being formulated by
project participants.
