History

In January 2003, the Governments of Vietnam and the Netherlands signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the implementation of the Biogas Project. At an early stage, the project expanded with an additional two provinces and increased its target from 10,000 to 12,000 biogas plants. In July 2005, six months ahead of schedule, the project reached its numerical target. In anticipation of a second phase, the Netherlands Government increased its grant to fund the subsidy component of an additional 6,000 plants thus bringing the project target to 18,000 biogas plants by the end of January 2006. Encouraged by the results of the Biogas Program phase 1 the Netherlands Government signed a MOU in July 2006 for a phase 2, 2007-2010, with 58 provinces involved and a target of 140,000 biogas plants. This project timeline was revised in 2009 to a program ending date of 31 December 2012. For the bridging year 2006 a separate MOU was signed in April 2006.
