With high economic growth, Vietnam is now witnessing an increasing energy demand, having much potential for renewable sources such as wind energy, solar energy or biomass energy. The nation is heavily dependent on fossil energy sources such as coal and oil. This situation raises concerns about both energy security and the environment. Therefore, a question arises if Vietnam can develop renewable energy to solve energy demand, energy security and reduce climate change impacts as committed. This article analyses a considerable potential for renewable energy sources (especially wind and solar energy). The analysis also indicates competitiveness between these renewable energy sources compared to the traditional energy sources that Vietnam is dependent on, especially when there are policies to encourage the development of renewable energy and limit emissions. This article proposes some recommendations to develop renewable energy sources, with an overview of replacing fossil energy in Vietnam.

未来越南可再生能源与化石能源的竞争可能性

随着经济的高速增长，越南的能源需求不断增加，在风能、太阳能或生物质能等可再生能源方面具有很大潜力。该国严重依赖煤炭和石油等化石能源。这种情况引发了对能源安全和环境的担忧。因此，越南能否按照承诺开发可再生能源来解决能源需求、能源安全和减少气候变化影响，就出现了一个问题。本文分析了可再生能源（尤其是风能和太阳能）的巨大潜力。分析还表明，与越南所依赖的传统能源相比，这些可再生能源之间的竞争力，特别是当有鼓励发展可再生能源和限制排放的政策时。本文提出了一些发展可再生能源的建议，并概述了越南替代化石能源的情况。
