According to Decree No. 06/2022/NĐ-CP of the Government, businesses with an annual total energy consumption of 1,000 tons of oil equivalent (TOE) or more are required to develop a GHG emissions reduction plan and submit it to the competent authority.

Particularly, businesses in the six sectors specified in Decision No. 13/2024/QĐ-TTg must complete their GHG emissions reduction plans for the 2026-2030 period and submit them to the relevant authorities before the deadline of December 31, 2025:

• Energy
  

• Transportation
  

• Construction
  

• Industrial processes
  

• Agriculture, forestry, and land use
  

• Waste management

2. What do businesses need to prepare when developing a GHG emissions reduction plan?

To effectively develop a GHG emissions reduction plan, businesses must proactively prepare the following resources and conditions:

✔️ The latest GHG inventory report (for the most recent baseline year) as a basis for assessing and developing an appropriate reduction plan.
✔️ Financial resources to implement emission reduction measures, ensuring feasibility and long-term effectiveness.
✔️ Environmental, energy, and GHG management systems  (ISO 14001, ISO 50001, ISO 14064-1) to enhance emissions management efficiency and optimize reduction performance.
✔️ Employee training on the importance of GHG emissions reduction to ensure proper implementation and goal achievement.
✔️ A well-trained team capable of preparing GHG inventory reports, emissions reduction plans, and reduction outcome reports, optimizing costs and ensuring proactive execution.

The facility-level GHG emissions reduction plan is developed according to Form No. 02 in Appendix IV issued with Decree No. 06/2022/NĐ-CP:

(1) Results of the facility's latest GHG inventory;
(2) Projected GHG emissions during the plan period if no emission reduction technologies or measures are applied;
(3) GHG emissions reduction targets for each year from 2026 to 2030;
(4) Selected emissions reduction measures aligned with actual conditions, technological levels, and available resources;
(5) Monitoring and supervision plan for implementing the GHG emissions reduction plan.
