| Summary: | Vietnam's transport sector plays an
important role in its socioeconomic development. Passenger
transport helps meets daily needs and contributes
significantly to tourist service development while freight
transport helps meet the country's demand for delivery
of raw materials and of semi-finished products to production
facilities and for transport of finished products to
consumers. With the overall growth in transport in the
country, each of the main forms of transport (road, railway,
aviation, inland waterways and maritime) are currently
increasing the total fuel use for transport and as a result
overall greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to the mix of
transport modes used, the major factors affecting the impact
of this growth on current and future greenhouse gases from
each mode of transport are the quality and quantity of the
vehicles and supporting infrastructure and the type of fuels
used and their efficiency. The following sections evaluate
the infrastructure and fuel use of each of the modes of
transport (sections 1.1-1.5), the current and projected
greenhouse gas emissions from the sector and the reasons for
this (section 2), and typologies of interventions that can
reduce the emissions from the sector (section 3). |
