port project in Can Gio, green-energy supply solutions for the Con Dao Special
Administrative Zone, and research and development of a hydrogen-powered urban
rail line, according to the city’s official news portal.

urged the company to accelerate investment in green transport, industrial
decarbonization, and environmental projects—especially in the transport sector.

He affirmed that the city leadership is committed to
creating favorable conditions and close cooperation to ensure HDF Energy’s
projects are implemented effectively and successfully in the near future.
