THE EVALUATION OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IN QUANG TRI SEAFOOD EXPLOITATION AND PROPOSED SOLUTIONS OF MITIGATION MEASURES IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE

Abstract

There are 28 in 63 coastal provinces and cities in Viet Nam, occupies 17% of the country's total coastal area and is home to over one fifth of Vietnam's population (Strategic marine Viet Nam 2020). Therefore, fishery is very important in the national economy, identified as one of the potential and strengths of our country. This study was conducted in Quang Tri Province and piloted in Trieu Phong District with 3 coastal communes Trieu An, Trieu Van, Trieu Lang and Trieu Phuoc communes and Trieu An river commune, near Thach Han river, pouring into the sea at Cua Viet port, is one of the large seaports of Central Viet Nam. The coastal communes of Trieu Lang, Trieu Van and Trieu An have a natural area of 35.98 km², 18 km of coastline, a wide fishing ground with many kinds of precious seafood, high economic value; There are gates, fishing ports and fish wharves. The study shows the total fleet oil consumption of the current fleet is 75,691.77 tons; Greenhouse gas emissions are 240,140.47 tons CO₂, 19.39 tons N₂O and 16.16 tons CH₄. The study also shows the potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. After applying mitigation measures, the amount of fuel saved is 22.707,53 tons, at the same time, a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 204,453.6 tons of CO₂, 16.51 tons of N₂O and 13.76 tons of CH₄.
