Potential for Geothermal Technology Applications in Civil Constructions in Vietnam

Center for Vietnam Science and Technology Internationalization Promotion (VISTIP) and the ENR Technology Solutions Group (France) Discuss Geothermal Technology Applications in Civil Constructions in Vietnam
Recently, the Center for Vietnam Science and Technology Internationalization Promotion (VISTIP) held a working session with a delegation from the ENR Technology Solutions Group of the French Republic, led by Mr. Christophe ALBONICO, Head of the Energy Innovation Project. ENR Technology Solutions specializes in geothermal-based cooling and air-conditioning technologies. Their central air-conditioning systems and reverse-cycle EnR Solutions technology—utilizing underground pipe installations, thermal insulation, and cooling systems—can save up to 75% of energy consumption compared to conventional technologies.
During the meeting, Mr. Christophe ALBONICO introduced the advanced features of the cooling technology, which employs underground equipment and insulated pipe systems made from copper and new polyester materials. Additionally, he shared emerging trends in geothermal cooling technologies. According to Mr. ALBONICO, ENR Solutions’ products have been adopted by numerous partners in developed countries, earning high praise for their quality. The Group now seeks to expand technology transfer and commercialization efforts in Southeast Asia, aiming to partner with Vietnamese entities as a regional focal point for technological development.
With its longstanding reputation and expertise in international science and technology research, development, and integration, VISTIP was approached by ENR Solutions to explore opportunities for collaboration. ENR Solutions proposed that VISTIP act as a bridge to connect with relevant organizations to facilitate technology development projects, bringing practical value to the community.

During the discussion, Mrs. Bui Thi Huy Hop – Deputy Director in charge of VISTIP emphasized that Vietnam is prioritizing the adoption of energy-efficient, environmentally friendly technologies in alignment with the national green transition strategy. VISTIP is actively connecting domestic and international enterprises to integrate innovative technologies into production and business operations, enhancing product quality while ensuring environmental sustainability.
Recognizing the potential of ENR Solutions’ technology, Mrs. Hop requested that ENR Solutions clarify the cost-benefit ratio of their technology compared to existing solutions in the market. Also, she proposed steps to prepare for future collaboration, including exploring trade opportunities, technology transfer initiatives, and the production of auxiliary equipment for ENR Solutions’ core technology projects.
