Renewable Energy Carbon Credit Market in Vietnam – Opportunities and Challenges

Publish date 30/06/2025

As Vietnam commits to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, the carbon credit market is becoming increasingly important in the country's green economy. Specifically, renewable energy credits hold great potential and are regarded as future "green gold”.

The primary advantage lies in the government's strong commitments, demonstrated through a clear roadmap for implementing the mandatory carbon market between 2025-2026. Additionally, Vietnam’s natural renewable resources, such as solar and wind energy, are abundant, creating favorable conditions for large-scale clean energy projects and generating substantial renewable energy credits.
However, the market still faces challenges, including a shortage of highly skilled human resources in Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) processes. High initial costs and complex administrative procedures have made businesses hesitant to engage actively.

Future Market Potential

Experts estimate Vietnam could generate approximately 57 million carbon credits annually, with renewable energy projects contributing significantly. Specifically, large-scale solar and wind energy projects alone could provide up to 2.7 million credits annually. This number is promising as the market expands, especially under pressure from the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which encourages Vietnamese businesses to quickly transition to clean energy and acquire carbon credits.
