Vietnam’s plan to quadruple by 2030 its gas processing capacity, turning it into its first source of energy, marks a big bet on imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) and its reserves in the South China Sea, despite supply and geopolitical risks.

Vietnam’s plan to quadruple by 2030 its gas processing capacity, turning it into its first source of energy, marks a big bet on imported liquefied natural gas and its reserves in the South China Sea, despite supply and geopolitical risks.

Locally produced gas would be given priority over LNG, the government said, with output expected to jump by about 65% to 15 gigawatts by 2030 – but its share in the country’s power mix is set to drop to 10% from 13% in 2020. The plan does not indicate the estimated cost of LNG imports. Prices rose quickly last year as European Union countries sought to replace Russian gas, a trend that is expected to continue, warned the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis .

BRICS Nations May Consider Common Currency at 2023 SummitThe BRICS nations - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - may consider a joint currency when they meet in Johannesburg in August, South African officials said, writes Voice of America. Russia has been spearheading the push for the creation of a joint currency, and Brazil has also thrown its support behind the idea. China is also in favour of challenging what its ministry of foreign affairs calls U.S. "dollar hegemony." South Africa's Reserve Bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago is sceptical. "I don't know how we would talk of a currency issued by a bloc of countries that are in different geographical locations because currencies are national in nature," he said. BRICS accounts for some 40% of the world's population, and an estimated one-quarter to one-third of global GDP. A number of other countries, including Saudi Arabia and Iran, have also expressed interest in joining BRICS.
