This initiative will establish a 1,500MW combined cycle gas power plant, a 250,000m\u00b3 LNG terminal, and a dedicated port in the Quynh Lap region, approximately 220 kilometers south of Hanoi. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027 and be completed by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SK Innovation\u2019s participation brings together its proven expertise in LNG power generation and its global LNG value chain, complementing the local strengths of its Vietnamese partners. This collaborative approach is expected to deliver optimal synergy and contribute to the region\u2019s long-term energy and industrial development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Quynh Lap LNG Power Project attracted interest from leading global companies, with participants from Korea, Japan, and Qatar advancing through the initial bidding and preliminary evaluation in 2024. The final project developer selection was conducted among these shortlisted firms in January 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SK Innovation is also considering expanding the LNG terminal into a regional hub, supplying gas to nearby power plants. This approach is expected to enhance project efficiency, ensure timely energy supply, and support the integrated growth of energy infrastructure and industry, in line with Vietnam\u2019s national development plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-6'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/archives\/154164\/#Building_Shared_Prosperity_The_SEIC_Model_for_Vietnams_Industrial_and_Low-Carbon_Growth\" >Building Shared Prosperity: The SEIC Model for Vietnam\u2019s Industrial and Low-Carbon Growth<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-6'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/archives\/154164\/#Leading_the_Way_SK_Innovations_Global_Expansion_of_the_Integrated_LNG_Value_Chain\" >Leading the Way: SK Innovation\u2019s Global Expansion of the Integrated LNG Value Chain<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h6 class=\"gb-text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Building_Shared_Prosperity_The_SEIC_Model_for_Vietnams_Industrial_and_Low-Carbon_Growth\"><\/span><strong>Building Shared Prosperity: The SEIC Model for Vietnam\u2019s Industrial and Low-Carbon Growth<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past four years, SK Innovation has collaborated closely with the Vietnamese government to establish a long-term roadmap supporting both industrial advancement and carbon neutrality. Central to this vision is the Specialized Energy-Industry Cluster (SEIC) model, which leverages stable LNG power generation as a foundation for regional growth and sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SEIC model is designed to foster high-value industries near the power plant, such as AI data centers and logistics hubs, contributing to job creation, talent development, and overall economic vitality. SK Innovation\u2019s phased approach, using LNG for immediate energy needs while preparing for future zero-carbon power sources, underscores its commitment to shared and sustainable prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chairman Chey Tae-won of SK Group and SK Innovation\u2019s leadership have engaged in ongoing discussions with Vietnamese government officials to refine and align the SEIC model with Vietnam\u2019s energy policies and development strategies. The company\u2019s dedication to this collaborative vision was reaffirmed through high-level meetings in 2025. Through the SEIC model, SK Group has also emphasized its strong commitment to contributing to Vietnam\u2019s industrial and economic development, and to achieving mutual growth alongside its Vietnamese partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"gb-text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leading_the_Way_SK_Innovations_Global_Expansion_of_the_Integrated_LNG_Value_Chain\"><\/span><strong>Leading the Way: SK Innovation\u2019s Global Expansion of the Integrated LNG Value Chain<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>This project represents the first overseas application of SK Innovation\u2019s integrated LNG value chain, a model already proven in Korea\u2019s private sector. In contrast to conventional methods, which focus solely on constructing power plants or simply trading LNG, SK Innovation has proposed a business model that leverages its global LNG portfolio to transport LNG directly to Vietnam\u2019s terminal and use it as fuel for the power plant. This integrated approach not only enhances fuel supply stability but also enables the project to flexibly respond to fluctuations in global market conditions, ensuring greater energy security for the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these strategies, SK Innovation plans to expand its global LNG portfolio to 10 million tons by 2030, reinforcing its commitment to global energy leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An SK Innovation spokesperson said, \u201cThis project demonstrates the strength of international collaboration and the competitiveness of SK\u2019s integrated LNG value chain. By working closely with the Nghe An provincial government and our partners, we look forward to contributing to Vietnam\u2019s energy development and regional prosperity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Graphic]<\/strong> Illustration of the Quynh Lap LNG Power Project in Nghe An Province, Vietnam<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/\ubcf8\ubb38-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-154179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/\ubcf8\ubb38-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/\ubcf8\ubb38-1-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/\ubcf8\ubb38-1-768x461.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u25a0 Development of a 1.5GW gas-fired power plant, LNG terminal, and dedicated port in Nghe An Province, Vietnam, targeted for completion by 2030 \u25a0 Showcasing SK Innovation\u2019s integrated LNG value chain, from global supply to power generation \u25a0 Introducing the Specialized Energy-Industry Cluster (SEIC) model to drive Vietnam\u2019s economic development and ensure a stable energy &#8230; <a title=\"SK Innovation to Lead USD 2.3 Billion LNG Mega Project in Vietnam\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/archives\/154164\" aria-label=\"Read more about SK Innovation to Lead USD 2.3 Billion LNG Mega Project in Vietnam\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":614,"featured_media":154178,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1914,1916,1915],"tags":[1919,1811,1842,1994,1995,15,77],"class_list":["post-154164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-presspress","category-corporate-news","category-press-releases","tag-gasrenewable-energy","tag-lng","tag-lng-value-chain","tag-nghe-an","tag-seic","tag-sk-innovation","tag-vietnam"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/614"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154164"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":154181,"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154164\/revisions\/154181"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/154178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
