1. Center for Rural communities Research & Devvelopment Center for Climate Change and Sustainable Development (CCRD & CCSD) NAMA on Biogas Barriers and Measures for effective implementation in Vietnam

2. Content I. Barriers in implementing NAMA in Vietnam II. Proposal on measures for achieving NAMA Objectives

3. 1.1. Barriers on Policies:  There’re NOT Policies on the use biogas to generate electricity including: + Policies/Mechanism for connecting Electric generated by biogas to the national grid; + Policies on Purchase-Selling of Bio-electrict; + Policies on providing preferential credit for producing electric by using biogas.  There’s NOT Mechanism on managing Market & Bio-Generator Quality. I.Barriers for implementing NAMA on Biogas in Vietnam

4. I. Barriers (continue) 1.2. Barriers on Finance  High investment for Bio-generator Technology (using biogas) due to low financial capacity of pig farm owners.  Not yet state investment on management, infrastructure for connecting bio-electric to national grid

5. 1.3. Barriers on Technology  Bio-generator technology using biogas is a new one in Vietnam.  Most of the actual bio-generator systems have very low quality or self-produced/ by reusing old generators (manufactured from old lorry generators)  The effective operation/management of bio- generator systems need high and specific skills.  The electric source provided by bio-generator systems are small and scattered. I. Barriers (continue)

6. 1.4. Barriers on management capacities: * About State management capacity:  NO system of the state organisation on management, implementation and Monitoring;  NO experiences on management & implementation * About capacity of pig Farms:  NO Proper Operation/Management capacities on Bio-Electric systems using biogas;  Limited capital investment. I. Barriers (continue)

7. 1.5 Barriers on awareness:  Almost of Pig-Farm Owners/ Investors/ Local State management Bodies have not enough informations and knweledge on bio-generating using biogas, GHG mitigation, NAMAs, …  NOT yet Effective Demonstration models for “Seeing is Believing” for pig farm owners/ potential Investors. I. Barriers (continue)

8. 2.1. Measures on Policies:  To formulate/make Policies in order to ecourage using biogas for generating bio-electric on Pig Farms (Supporting the construction of infrastructure, Financial/Credit, Exemption/Reducing taxes,...)  To formulate/make Mechanism/Policies on connecting bio-electric to the national grid;  To formulate appropiate Mechanism/Policies on purchase/selling bio-electric using biogas as renewable energy. II. Proposal on measures for achieving NAMA Objectives

9. 2.2. Measures on Finance:  To attract/encourage domestic & international organisations involving in generating bio-electric using biogas for providing grants/ preferential credits.  To establish a National Foundation for attracting different financial sources for promoting/ constructing basic infrastructures /systems on implementing & managing NAMA on Biogas;  To encourage different investors from private sector with the preferential relevant policies. II. Propsed Measures... (continue)

10. 2.3. Measures on Technology:  To Research/ Assess the actual technologies/bio- generators using biogas for identifying appropiate technology(s) in Vietnam context.  To establish a standard system on Quality Control (QC) for managing bio-generators using biogas in Vietnam;  To encourage and support research organisations/ researchers, investors... in producing overall bio- generating systems using biogas, to assure quality of bio-generators in Vietnam. II. Propsed Measures... (continue)

11. 2.4. Measures on increasing Capacity & Knowledge:  To establish an Organisational system of NAMA implementation & management at all levels.  To propagate and disseminate the development of NAMA, renewable energy, GHG mitigation … for relevant stakeholders ( Gov.bodies, Farm owners, private sector, NGOs, Communities...);  To build capacity on operation/management of bio- generator systems using biogas for pig farms;  To establish Biogas NAMA /demonstration models for expansion. II. Propsed Measures... (continue)
