If approved, this will be the third oil refinery in Vietnam. Vietnam is set to record a shortage of 19.5 million tons of fuel annually from 2030 and 49 million from 2045, Petrovietnam forecast. Domestic consumption is now at 18 million tons a year and will reach 33 million by 2030, but two existing refineries, Dung Quat and Nghi Son, will only be able to produce at most 13.5 million tons by 2025, it said.
