12:20 | 16/09/2025

Hanoi, September 16 -  Reinforcing our commitment to supporting the business community in their sustainable development journey, KLINOVA Consulting Company is proud to participate in the "Mission Zero for the Vietnam Cement Sector" workshop. Organized by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) in collaboration with GIZ, this important event represents a significant step toward achieving net-zero emissions in the Vietnamese cement industry.

The event brought together business leaders, leading technology providers from Viet Nam, Germany, and policy experts to discuss the roadmap for reducing carbon emissions within the cement sector.

 

The morning session focused on overview reports and sustainable development orientations for the cement industry from the Vietnam National Cement Association (VNCA) and the Vietnam Institute for Building Material (VIBM), along with a discussion on green criteria for construction materials presented by the Vietnam Green Building Council (VGBC). The morning session finished with a solution to convert solid waste into energy for green clinker production from ThyssenKrupp Polysius.

 

In the afternoon, the focus shifted to specific technological and financial solutions. Speakers introduced breakthrough initiatives, delving into specific technological and financial solutions, including energy-saving refractory bricks, automated operations, alternative fuel technology, packaging solutions, and especially financial solutions for green transformation from the International Finance Corporation (IFC).

Our representatives, Ms. Linh Nguyen and Mrs. Hue Nguyen - Project Director of KLINOVA, tackled the critical topic of the role of household waste as a waste-to-energy solution for green clinker production. While concerns about emissions from incineration are valid, the traditional landfilling poses a far greater threat. Mrs. Hue Nguyen explained that the decomposition of waste in landfills leads to the release of methane (CH₄), a greenhouse gas with a significantly higher global warming potential. Mrs. Hue highlighted that a proper waste-to-energy system not only avoids this potent methane release but also prevents the contamination of land and groundwater. Furthermore, Ms. Hue, emphasize that the participation and contributions to this event reaffirm KLINOVA's commitment to staying at the forefront of sustainable innovations. We are dedicated to connecting with global partners and learning from industry leaders, supporting businesses in the cement sector to apply sustainable and optimal solutions that enhance their competitive value and facilitate effective integration into the international market.
