In the framework of Vietnam Energy Efficiency for Industrial Enterprises in Vietnam (VEEIE), the World Bank is supporting GDE/MOIT to implement the project: Strategic Sector Study and Subproject Pipeline Development for Improving Energy Efficiency with Integrated Ozone and Climate Benefits.  The project aims to evaluate energy saving potential and develop the action plan for improving energy efficiency in food processing sector.  The project also provides energy audits for selected food processing enterprises and develops a pipeline of energy efficiency investment projects applicable to VEEIE fund of a total 200 million USD.

After 12 months of implementation, the project final workshop was organized on 23rd September 2016 in Hanoi Hilton Opera. The purposes of this workshop are to discuss the results of the study, particularly on specific energy consumption and energy saving potential for some selected food processing sub-sectors, proposal for energy efficiency actions, GHG Emissions reduction from energy savings and HCFC reduction and HCFC avoidance and the pipeline to energy efficiency investment projects in the food processing

industry. 

The workshop was chaired by Mr. Trinh Quoc Vu, Director of Science Technology & Energy Efficiency Department, GDE/MOIT and Mr. Franz Gerner, Country Coordinator o­n Energy, World Bank for opening speech. Many interesting questions have been discussed during the workshop.
