HANOI: Vietnam's plan to quadruple by 2030 its gas processing capacity, turning it into its first source of energy, marks a big bet on imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) and its reserves in the South China Sea, despite supply and geopolitical risks.
The plan, which was approved by the government late on Monday, would turn the Southeast Asian nation from a very small player in the gas market into one of the largest users in the region.
