Integrated Carbon Capture and Storage Strategies in Hard-to-Abate Industries for Achieving Vietnam's Net Zero by 2050

Abstract

This study evaluates the potential of carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a key strategy for reducing industrial emissions, focusing on integrating CCS within these industries to help Vietnam meet its decarbonization goals. Key objectives include assessing the feasibility of CCS across various sectors, mapping CO₂ source–sink networks, and proposing the creation of CCS hubs supported by Vietnam's geological storage resources. Notably, this research explores the integration of blue hydrogen production within CCS infrastructure, leveraging Vietnam's natural gas reserves to establish a low-carbon hydrogen economy. By drawing on international CCS case studies and assessing Vietnam's unique geological and industrial landscape, this study provides a strategic framework that can guide Vietnam's path toward a sustainable, net zero future. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
