On March 30, TGS Tra Vinh Green Hydrogen JSC, a member of The Green Solutions Group, held the Groundbreaking Ceremony for the Tra Vinh Green Hydrogen Manufacturing Plant in Dong Hai Commune, Duyen Hai District, with a total investment capital of nearly 8,000 billion VND. Attending the ceremony were former central leaders, leaders from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Tra Vinh provincial authorities, and relevant departments. Mr. Luu Ngoc Vinh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of CECO, attended as the Consulting Contractor for the project.

This is a pioneering green hydrogen production project utilizing seawater electrolysis powered by renewable energy to generate clean green hydrogen and oxygen feedstocks. The hydrogen is stored in liquid gas form, facilitating transport and extensive application across heavy industrial manufacturing.

The Green Hydrogen Manufacturing Plant in Tra Vinh province will provide an off-take solution for surplus power generated from local wind and solar power complexes. In the near future, automobiles, buses, and heavy trucks will operate on hydrogen fuel, emitting clean water vapor instead of carbon emissions. Additionally, medical-grade oxygen—a high-value byproduct of the electrolysis process—will supply healthcare sectors.

Upon completion and commissioning, the project will achieve a design capacity of 24,000 tons of green hydrogen per year and 195,000 tons of medical oxygen per year; creating direct employment for 300 to 500 workers while generating substantial revenues for the local provincial budget.
