For industrial energy users

Why switch to LNG?

If your plant runs on fuel oil or LPG, LNG (natural gas) is a cleaner, more cost-effective and more reliable alternative — delivered to you across Northern Vietnam from ITECO's terminal in Hai Phong.

Three reasons to switch

Cleaner, cheaper to run, easier on your equipment

Cleaner emissions

Natural gas burns with near-zero sulphur and particulates, and ~25–30% less CO₂ than fuel oil — helping you meet tightening environmental rules.

Lower running cost

At industrial scale, LNG is typically more cost-competitive per unit of energy than LPG, and avoids the price volatility of oil-linked fuel.

Less maintenance

Clean combustion leaves no soot or ash — so less fouling, less downtime for cleaning, and longer life for boilers, kilns and furnaces.

Indicative comparison for typical industrial use. Actual emissions, cost and savings depend on your equipment, load profile and supply contract — our team can model your specific case.

Carbon intensity

Less CO₂ per unit of energy

Direct combustion emission factors (kg CO₂ per gigajoule of fuel energy, IPCC defaults). Switching from fuel oil to natural gas cuts CO₂ by roughly a quarter — before counting the efficiency gains from cleaner burning.

What switching means

Beyond the numbers

Environment & compliance

Near-zero SOₓ and particulates, lower NOₓ and CO₂ — a credible step in your decarbonisation roadmap and an easier path through tightening emission limits.

Efficiency & uptime

No soot or ash means heat-transfer surfaces stay clean, combustion stays efficient, and you spend less time shut down for cleaning and burner maintenance.

Predictable supply

From 2029, ITECO's Northern Vietnam LNG Terminal supplies LNG by truck within ~400 km and natural gas by pipeline nearby — a dedicated, local source built for continuous industrial demand.
