Vietnam is a country heavily dependent on coal for production. Almost every field has the presence of coal, especially in electricity generation. Nhập khẩu than is considered an essential action and it represents the answer to the risk of lack of energy for the market.

Nhập khẩu than is seen as a foresight for the hope of supplying enough coal to Vietnam market. This is an essential and necessary action in energy sector development planning, bringing high efficiency, helping to solve current problems that may arise.

Given the current situation and the current economic growth rate in Vietnam, the use of coal to produce and create consumer products is much more feasible than converting to completely replace with other sources. like clean renewable energy. Firstly, because of the low possibility of trading. Secondly, in terms of investment costs for facilities and high-tech infrastructure, it is much superior if investing heavily in the coal industry. For these reasons, it is expected that in the future, the coal industry will continue to grow and the demand for nhập khẩu than will continue to rise. All will contribute to the sustainable development of national energy.

The trend of stabilizing the proportion between nhập khẩu than and export to the market is always ensured in a balanced and capable capacity. This has both domestic economic significance and commercial cooperation meaning, linking trade relations between countries. Currently, Vietnam has tightened cooperation with many countries in the field of nhập khẩu than, but the most typical are Indo, Russia and Australia, with a high total trading volume.

According to consumption levels and capacity estimates this year, coal thermal power will reach 24,147 MW (accounting for 40% of total installed capacity), and in the next 5 years will increase by nearly 45.5 MW, accounting for 47% and in 10 years. after (ie 2035) reached nearly 60 MW.
