New MOIT-Circular governs MRV and GHG Inventory of industrial facilities

In December, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) issued technical regulation for emission transparency and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventories in the industry and trade sector Circular No 38/2023/TT-BCT. The circular applies to specific industrial facilities, which will be asked to submit GHG inventories.

This requirement came forward with the milestone policies on mitigation of GHG emissions (Decree 06/2022/ND-CP). Apart from its inventory requirements, the Decree is laying the ground for developing the carbon market, which will be applied to the highest-emitting industrial facilities first. Currently, those facilities that emit at least 3,000 tons of CO2 equivalent or consume 1000 tons of oil equivalent.

The greenhouse gas inventory will include the following aspects:

  • Fuel burning for electricity production and energy consumption in industries
  • Mineral exploitation activities
  • Emissions from chemical and physical processes that, apart from fuel burning in the chemical and metallurgical industries
  • Emissions from refrigerant solvents

The technical steps of greenhouse gas inventory in the Industry and Trade sector will go through the following steps:

  1. Determine source of emissions under the greenhouse gas inventory.
  2. Collect data for the greenhouse gas inventory. The regulation provides specific templates to help data collection.
  3. Select emission factors.
  4. Calculate the emission inventory using predefined methods of the circular (depending on the source of emission)
  5. Implement quality control measures internally and external verification
  6. Assess uncertainty of the greenhouse gas inventory.
  7. Recalculate the results of greenhouse gas inventories from previous years based on the results.
  8. Develop a facility-level greenhouse gas inventory report.

With the circular, MOIT takes a significant step towards implementing GHG emission transparency and preparing the industry for the carbon market. The policy aims to boost the implementation of GHG emission reduction in the industrial sector and increase the sector’s ownership of their emissions.

The IKI Vietnam Newsletter is administered by the IKI interface in Vietnam hosted by GIZ. It informs regularly about news of climate change and biodiversity projects in Vietnam financed by the International Climate Initiative (IKI). The International Climate Initiative (IKI) is an important part of the German government’s international climate finance commitment. Since 2022 the IKI is implemented by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) in close cooperation with the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) and the Federal Foreign Office (AA).

IKI Independent Complaint Mechanism (IKI ICM)

Any person who is (potentially) negatively affected by an IKI project, can file a complaint via the IKI Independent Complaint Mechanism (ICM). 

It works to enable people who suffer (potential) negative social and/or environmental consequences from IKI project. ​

  • Any person or a group of persons, or a community that has been or may be affected negatively by an IKI project may file a complaint.​
  • Persons wishing to do so can report integrity and/or corruption issues, such as misuse of funds, fraud etc.​
  • If persons experience reprisals in relation to an IKI project or a complaint, they can also use the mechanism. The affected person(s) can authorise a representative to file and pursue the complaint on their behalf.​
