Mitsubishi to help Vietnam save energy, cut greenhouse gas emissions    

The Mitsubishi Group will conduct a study through March 2011 to help Vietnam save energy and deal with climate change issues.            

Results from the study will suggest the use of certain energy-saving electronic home appliances made by Japanese businesses in Vietnam, including refrigerators, electric lights and air-conditioners, said Japan’s Daily Yomiuri Online.     

Mitsubishi will cooperate with five Japanese electronics producers in Vietnam, including Panasonic and Sharp, to work out how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using energy-saving devices.

On Wednesday last week, Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry named the Mitsubishi study in a list of 15 projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in emerging economies.

Another project is conducted by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), and estimates the possible reduction of greenhouse gas emissions if TEPCO invests in nuclear power plants in Vietnam.         

Fast industrialization raises Vietnam’s demand for electricity by around 16 percent every year, said Yomiuri.

Vietnam’s IT industry yet to satisfy regional advanced standards

Vietnam’s information technology (IT) industry still lags behind progressive countries in the region as it has yet to satisfy regional advanced standards.     

The statement was made at a meeting last week by the Ministry of Information and Communications to review implementation of the instruction No. 58-CT/TW issued by the Political Bureau in 2000 about boosting development and application of IT to industrialization and modernization.        

Participants at the meeting said the sector has yet to meet some targets set by the Political Bureau. It has not become an important motive force of the country’s socioeconomic development.

They said the IT application hasn’t helped to change people’s way of working, and created advantages for enterprises and residents.         

The participants agreed that after ten years of the implementation, the IT industry has achieved remarkable progress, and made contributions to industrialization, modernization and administrative reform.

The information and communication technology sector’s turnovers have reached US$13 billion, accounting for 11 percent of the country’s GDP. 

IT has become one of key economic sector of the national economy, and one of seven sectors recording high export turnovers.            

IT human resources have developed strongly in terms of quantity and quality.
