Overview of the LPG industry in Vietnam
Vietnam’s liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) industry plays a vital role in the country’s energy mix.
It serves as a key fuel for households, transportation, and industrial production, supporting the nation’s shift toward cleaner energy sources.
Domestic LPG production comes primarily from refineries such as Dung Quat and Nghi Son, which also meet a portion of export demand to regional markets.
Vietnam still relies partly on imports from countries like South Korea and Thailand to meet growing consumption needs.
The government is promoting LPG use to reduce reliance on coal and promote environmental sustainability.
Infrastructure expansion, including storage facilities and distribution networks, is ongoing to enhance supply stability and accessibility across provinces.
